My wife is beginning to fully appreciate homeschooling.

But kids need the social interaction, even the not-so pretty variety (to some degree) in order to better cope later on in life, in the workplace, etc.

I have never been bullied or assaulted in the workplace, in church, while shopping, or in any other social setting. Have you? On a daily basis?

Or is this really an extremely thin justification of “free” babysitting?

I’m getting tired of the whole ‘social interaction’ canard.

The options - especially nowadays - for social interaction are legion for homeschoolers.

The mindless socialist regimentation of large modern public school classes has virtually nothing to do with what the grown child will see at most workplaces, at church, in business, etc.

Not unless you want them to approach these things like they would approach hell.
