My children are home schooled and they are constantly being praised for their "social skills".
So are mine!! My kids are among the most OUTGOING socially developed kids that I KNOW, and I know a LOT of kids.....The people that KNOW us, can attest to that.. but the ridicule comes from those who do not know me personally and OPPOSE home schooling.. that is the best argument they can come up with.. so I am constantly hearing it.. but then when they get to know my children I always hear "Well, I guess your kids are just an EXCEPTION to the rule"... HOGWASH.. I know MANY homeschooling families and my kids are "AVERAGE" in the social skills department for homeschooled children..
