As long as kids are socializing with other kids in outside events...

Exactly. I have some homeschooled kids in my neighborhood. They don't even know the meaning of sh%$, da%$, m%^he& f^&(er, su%& me, eat &%. Where are they supposed to learn this stuff if they are not exposed to older hoodlums?

Side story...I home schooled my boys. The oldest played hockey, where there is always trash talk during the game. It use to drive them crazy that they could not get under his skin no matter what they said to him.

One day I figured out why it never bothered him.....we were in the car and we were talking about what was said on the rink that started some of the fights and why he was never bothered enough to fight. He talked about the language used and how stupid it was. I asked in what way? He said well one day he had looked up one of the words he did not understand in the dictionary and since in only meant a pile of wood he did not bother with the rest!

Now I was really curious and asked what word he had looked up. He said fagg. Holding back laughter as best I could I told him to go home and look it up again with one less g.

He became a very different player after! LOL!
