Hey Sopater,
yeah socialization..we homeschool..we got the socialization covered...
my wife is the instructor and I am the principle and as principle I am responsible for socialization, so...
once a month, even in the summer months ‘cause we don’t want them to forget, I do my socialization routine..
When they least expect it, I grab them from behind and drag them into the bathroom....
I tear up one or two of their notebooks...
push them around...
scream and swear at them...
steal whatever money they have in their pockets...
force them to smoke a cigarette...
show them how sexting works...
and as the grand finale give them a swirlie (hold their head in the toilet bowl and flush).
Now they are socialized exactly as they would be at the local high school.
Lurking’
Hope the wife has already covered the lessons on homophones...since the principle (sic) seems to have been absent that day...
If parents do all that they get arrested and charged with child abuse. If some punks do it in highschool everyone (who wasn’t homeschooled) says it was a valuable growing up experience and the victim is a better person for it.
Survivorship bias.
