toldailytopic: Homeschooling vs. Public schooling.

That actually doesn't sound too bad, in theory.

My wife and I could probably run a service helping the people we see carting around 5 kids at Wal-Mart at 3 AM study for the parenting exam.


We don't have kids, by the way.

No kidding. Most of the human race shouldn't procreate...I'd think this was fairly obvious.

We homeschool so we can properly socialize our kids.

Please expound on this statement.

How is removing your children from a classroom setting (be it in a public or private school) teaching them how to properly socialize?

Sure, they probably go to church with you 8 times a week and see other kids there; maybe they have soccer practice or swimming lessons, etc.; but I would venture to say that your children are at home with you 20 hours out of the day.

How is that "properly socializing" your kids?
