What does that mean? Can’t interpret the tone. Do you mean that the homeschooled children in your nh are obviously getting socialization because they play with your kids? Or that they aren’t being socialized because they are starving for attention from your kids? Thanks for clarification.
Just as you can't ascertain whether or not I have a favorable opinion of the home-schooled kids receiving socialization benefits from mine, I can't determine if your statement is a claim that socialization isn't indeed a benefit of public schools.
I've heard people opposed to homeschooling use the socialization argument as a pro for public schools, only to have homeschoolers toss it back at them when a child is bullied, molested, etc, etc, in a public school.
Just trying to determine if you're painting with an equally broad brush. For the record, I'm not. My kids attend public school because our schools are excellent. If we were forced to live in a less desirable district, however, we would likely seek an alternative education method.
