YS, you are still being a knee jerk reacter. WHAT PITFALLS???? Name one beside a generic socialization. If you really want to help me the homeschooler, do it. Don't just sit there and say there might be problems.
I'm not being a knee-jerk reactor to anything--everything I have said on this thread comes from my personal experience with homeschooling and what I've seen in other homeschoolers (including good friends of mine). I gave some specific suggestions in post #112, but I suggest generally that homeschoolers avoid the tendency toward isolationism that often accompanies a desire to avoid the ills of the public school system. Further, the more homeschoolers interact normally with other members of the public, the sooner common negative stereotypes of homeschoolers will disappear.
