I wager that much of the socialization comes from church/synagogue activities

Socialization

Homeschooling is most frequently criticized about this. Here's how I typically respond:
Once a week I push my kid up against the wall and steal his lunch money... He's perfectly socialized.

Now THAT is the very reason why homeschooled are being accepted with open arms at colleges who can appreciate quality.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Also.....It means less “drama” for the colleges to deal with.

Homeschoolers being so well adjusted and morally well-grounded don't have as many socially and emotionally draining and upsetting “issues” in their lives.

Socialization is important, I think it would go better outside a prison, I mean “school” setting.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The “socialization” learned in school is prison gang “socialization” survival skills!

These pathologic coping mechanisms **must** be unlearned to have any success in life. Thankfully, most do put aside these dysfunctional school socialization habits and move on to healthier work and home relationships. Sadly, some do not.

You got that right.

The Government only knows how to operate armies and prisons.

No surprise that prisons are the model for public school socialization.

Pathological coping mechanisms, indeed.
