They'll have cool stories, yeah. Too bad that they won't have friends. And I somehow can't imagine home schooling is as good as normal schooling by professional teachers (there are bad teachers, sure, but even the worst are schooled).

And everyone would have wanted something like this in his childhood. That doesn't make it a good thing though. A child would love to have candy 10 times an hour, yet we adults don't let them because it's bad for their teeth and makes them fat.
