Not All the Same

Somebody recently told me how homeschooling has its “downs”, because he once knew a homeschooled teenage girl who was ignorant and not properly socialized. Just because I know a few public schooled drug-using promiscuous bullies doesn’t mean they are all like that (at least I don’t think so).

    It bugs me when people judge homeschooling on “this one kid I knew”. They would never judge public schools on “this one kid I knew”. Homeschool kids get no room for being human.

    And what does it mean to be properly socialized anyway? How does one go about judging that?

    I recently looked up the word socialization:

    socialization
    The process whereby a child learns to get along with and to behave similarly to other people in the group, largely through imitation as well as group pressure.

    Interesting.
