No one has ever mentioned homeschooling or socialization problems to me. I wondered on my own if homeschooled kids might not get enough social life, and might feel left out of school related things that their friends were engaged in. This was simply intuitive on my part, which is why I asked the question.

The quality of homeschooling and social life are parent-dependent, but then, parents willing to take the time to homeschool are probably already dedicated parents. I have seen parents who keep their kids isolated, let’s hope they are a very small minority.

I have no issues with the concept of homeschooling, and I’m glad to hear that homeschooled kids are being successful in their social lives. When one considers how horrid today’s public schools are, homeschooling sounds good, and you’ll get no argument from me on that! Thanks for the insights.

Just to clarify, my “direct” words were directed not at you but at the hypothetical “socialization” concern troll.
