RE: I'm Thinking about Homeschooling My Son - What About Socialization? School Used Fluoride Rinse on Him Without my Consent
I teach junior high. About a third of the kids in my classes count as socially backward. I don't think school is a good socialization machine. At all.
Thank you cristof. Coming from a teacher that seals my deal with my son starting homeschooling. I appreciate your input.
Yeah, I teach at a charter school and three homeschool co-ops (teens like classes--mixing with others works for them). I like them all for different reasons. But there's no doubt--none whatever--that the homeschool kids are every bit as prepared for life, in every way that matters, as kids that go through any other system. And in my experience, some of them are much BETTER prepared, in ways the public school system could never produce.
