It is heartening to read your comment. I have long been concerned that homeschooling would result in kids that were not well socialized due to not attending school. Perhaps I was wrong to worry about that. I do think parents who homeschool have to take this into account and work at it.
Your thoughts?
I know that homeschooling has gone on for enough years that many homeschooled pupils are now in college.
I wonder what the mostly-liberal professors think of them?
I suspect that most of the arguments professors get in the classroom are from former homeschooled pupils.
Frankly, I found just the opposite. I used to joke if we were any more socialized we would never have time to do school.
With all the activities available to home school families today, unless the parents are antisocial and purposefully hiding in their homes, home schooled children are extremely socialized. There are co-op classes, team sports and other activities organized by home schooled parents and organizations.
However I did find my son was often impatient with the immaturity of his public schooled peers.
Virtually every homeschool kid I know is plenty well socialized. Most homeschoolers have problems trying to curtail their extracurricular activities.
If you think that the kind of socialization that kids get in public high schools today is a good thing, you need to really, seriously, strenuously, reconsider your position.
Kids aren't sent to Government Indoctrination Centers ("Public Schools") for socialization - they are mandated to be sent there for regimentation.
