Schools are spending so much time making children socially acceptable that they forget to teach them true academics. I refuse to let the government mold and shape my child. That is my job. That is why I homeschool. My children have been in private and public schools. I get sick when I think of the social activities they were taught. This is the problem.

Those who claim that homeschholing children need to go to school do seem to forget that there are as many socially akward children in the public school system as anywhere else. Going to school does not automatically make one perfectly able to interact with one's peers. I too would like to know how this "organic" process is supposed to bloom in such a controlled environment.

Having kids state who they would avoid so that we can classify children by popularity = over the line. And what does the comment about homeschooling have to do with anything?

And what does the comment about homeschooling have to do with anything?
