unusual and therefore not be accepted to join the main stream. "

Del replies :
You could be right, but it's still just speculation. We aren't told of
any Muggleborn kid who suffered that way, if I remember well.

Let's face it : without any kind of Muggle secondary education (no
maths, no English, no history, no *nothing*), Muggleborns simply
cannot fit into the Muggle society. They can do their best to catch
up, but they have to want it. Hogwarts *in effect* cuts them from the
Muggle World.
