I swear....do people realize that being in a homeschool organization DOES include socializing? My daughter has been homeschooled since she was 4 (thats 9 years) and she and her friends are some of the most socially adept children I know. Homeschooling DOES NOT equal no social skills, unless you want to fault me because they dont act up in public, they know how to behave at theaters and resturants, they dont throw fits at the grocery store or walmart.
I get so friggin sick and tired of people trying to tell me that my homeschooling her is "retarding" her socially. Between the homeschool association activities and other things she does for *school* she has more social interaction than I EVER did at that age and I was in girl scouts. She is very well aware of the ins and out of authority and respect and working with others.
People please know that not all homeschooled kids are kept inside their house and never associate with anyone....its just not true anymore and its a real insult (to me) for people to say that I'm keeping her from learning those things, when indeed she is. Yes, there are the exceptions out there, but in 9 years where I'm at I have never seen it....ever.
I have no qualms about the fact that she's never been in government school and I wouldnt change a thing
