Homeschooling- Q & A Part 2

Don't you worry about the socialization of your children?

Absolutely! That is why I am going to homeschool. I don't want my impressionable 5 year old going to school and learning from kids who see their parents do and say really heinous stuff. My children are by no means living in a bubble. We socialize with many different kinds of people, but it is under our supervision. We have new people in our home almost every week, and our children love meeting new people, young and old. We also plan to participate in homeschooling groups that have many activities. Our kids have friends they enjoy playing with during the week. Everyone has met a weird, withdrawn homeschool kid and blames it on a lack of socialization, but I remember kids like that IN school. It is sometimes a matter of personality type, whether or not a child is introverted or extroverted.
