By the way: "socializing" for what?

Exactly! Parents, you're raising your kids to be adults, not perpetual children, so what is the best way to do that? If you want your children to be mature, then most of their time should be spent with mature people whom you would want them to emulate. When my daughter babysits, she can always tell the days that the kids have been in preschool, because they are cranky, rebellious, and mean to their younger siblings. Kids in herds sink to the level of the worst kid in the group. The society of schools resemble those of maximum security prisons.

Of all the reasons to homeschool, socialization is at the top.

you shoul be required to watch the black and white version of
lord of the flies. :sarcasm off.

Stop it! You're speaking too much sense.
