This “socialization” nonsense is what the schools have been telling the parents for many years. The parents and teachers are just repeating what they have heard from the all-knowing “experts”.
Socialization is a joke - as if kids don’t have parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, friends, siblings etc. As if it weren’t for the public schools we would all keep our kids locked up in our attics.
I agree, but it surprises me to hear otherwise apparently normally intelligent people repeat such drivel. How did people get *socialized* before the advent of public (or even communal) education?
