"albeit at the cost of less socialization"
The old "socialization" argument. This country must have been a real mess before the government school system came along and socialized everyone properly, those poor uncouth founding fathers.
In my experience it is a fact that a greater percentage of home schooled childeren interact more comfortably and effectively with adults as well as their peers.
What you view as "socialization" i.e. discussion of mature subject matter, learning new four letter words, school violence, etc. is socialization my children have done quite well without.
Perhaps if you were better socialized, you would be able to converse with others without projecting grossly offensive opinions on them, thereby leading them to write you off as a complete jerk.
