But what about all the benefits of socializing with public schools over home schooling?
I think we are already seeing many of those “benefits” already. I believe I heard that some homeschool parents network with others and at times schedule group field trips, etc. that would serve that function. Many kids have other opportunities for socialization with relatives and neighbors.
Note: I was a public school teacher for over 3 decades. The socialization that children get in public school is way overrated.
