I agree with him very strongly I could easily have gone without high school but finding groups of my peers would have been much much harder especially since I did not live near enough to people my age to have met friends outside of school.
Sure if you move on to college you will go and meet other people but you may be more intimidated as they will be 3-4 years older than you and you have missed the social style that school offers.
I have run into a few people who were home schooled and this is apparent as they usually do not understand how both the social and classroom aspects work: these people were especially hard to deal with in class as they would interrupt the professors often with useless questions at inopportune times that hurt the flow of information and in exchange move the entire class off track.
I was home schooled and raised around a variety of people of all ages. I do not have handicapped social skills simply because I didn't interact on a daily basis with my peers, most of the time I was forced to interact with adults.
