.... and the next time someone asks me if my (homeschooled) kids are missing out on "socialization", I'm going to show them this article. Public schools are horrible, appalling unrealistic institutions, run by an ineffectual and malevolent bureaucracy. Why do I say this? Because this "serve or strip" nonsense is all about public humiliation as a disciplinary tool--and the practice is performed everywhere in public schools. This just happened to be an egregious example.
"...(homeschooled) kids are missing out on "socialization"...."
==============================================
My thoughts = perzactly!!!
Our 'Homeschooling' brought those same questions, about any socialization for our children.
My Wife told them that we weren't planning on Raising any Socialists, anyway....
Funny Thing: I thought that the STD's used to be called "Social Diseases", anyway. I haven't heard that term used in decades....
