People always get the wrong idea from parents that home school, I know parents who homeschool there children and they made better grades on the sat then kids who went to public schools. homeschool kids go to college just like public school kids do. nothing is different, just one is home and the other kids are in school. to me personally, i think some parents just send there kids to public school because it is free baby sitting for the day. homeschooling is very good, I have been doing it for a 1 year, because the schools here are overcrowded, and the teachers really don't give each kid the time they need to really learn. you can take your kids to different social events, mines play basketball, football, any sport just like being at regular school. Ask her kids how they like being homeschool. homeschooling is better to me than public schools.

my sister was homeschooled for a few years. Ask her:
why she started homeschooling
what reaction she's gotten from other parents
how she makes sure her kids are preforming at their grade level
does she follow a homeschool course or does she make up her own
if she is part of a homeschool community (and are her children intereacting with a lot of other children)
home many hours a day they spend on school
if she could do it all over again, would she

Does she follow a curriculum? Where did she get the curriculum?
Do the kids take standardized tests? Which ones?
Is she worried that her kids are missing out on social interaction with other kids their own ages?
Is her teenager missing out by not taking AP classes?

Does she realize that the lack of diplomas from the various levels of schooling could make it difficult for her children to get jobs with companies that look for those things?
