I love turning the question around when questioned about home schooling and socialization. People express concern that the kids will lack social skills.

Taking a look at their kids, my question is, So, you want my kids to be rebellious, sloppy, trampy, phone-texting, illiterate, without self-control, immoral, amoral, druggy, ritalin-chewing, selfish, peer-compliant, lazy, silly, trivial, churlish, and devoid of a meaningful future like your kid?

Very good!
Socialization in government schools truthfully should be called peer-pressure. Don’t want it and don’t need it.
The sooner Americans remove their children from that rat’s nest and propaganda factory, the sooner will see improvements in our children as a whole.

Bingo. Do you want you kindergartners socializing with a bunch of 5 yo out of control kids or people of a variety of ages and experiences.

The saw on that subject I learned from FR homeschoolers goes like this:

You want to simulate the public school experience in the home? Take your kid to the bathroom, blow smoke in his face, swear at him, beat him up, and take his lunch money.
