From dictionary _DOT_ com:

Socialize:
–verb (used with object)
1.to make social; make fit for life in companionship with others.
2.to make socialistic; establish or regulate according to the theories of socialism.
3.Education . to treat as a group activity: to socialize spelling quizzes.

Hmmm. I wonder which definition public school parents are promoting?

There’s an easy answer to the question “How do you socialize your children.” I just say we don’t believe in socialization. End of discussion.

Whoever made this video needs to go back to school to learn more about how to craft a logical argument that lacks a strawman fallacy. That is something I learned about in school when I studied debate.

It’s like having a conversation with my mother-in-law who doesn’t understand what we do and is more worried about my daughter missing the prom than anything else.

@tylerjamesstephens in case you missed my point, I wasn’t anti-homeschooling. I was merely criticizing the video because it replaces the priority of morals with academics.

@Steamthrower Most kids are exposed to drugs and sex around middle school age. Adults are typically far more confident and independent than teens and pre-teens. Postponing real-life exposure until adulthood allows room for objectivity and confidence. So, yes, it helps very much.

I have never been homeschooled, and not sure on how it works, but the point that “your children need to be in public schools in order to be properly socializedis a load of crap. Its not socializing they teach it’s more of assimilation. Most high school grads from public schools still run around with the same social circles they were in in high school and would feel like a fish out of water if they had to move away from their comfort zone. I’m going to look into home schooling my kid.

I hope this comes across the right way .. I am genuinely curious.

In the video, there is mention of protection from drugs, sexual pressure, and intimidation. Is this protection beneficial in the long-run? I recognize that the primary purpose of school is education and that this varies in quality – I think an engaged parent at home school or in conjunction with a public school is needed for proper development. What I am wondering is whether home school can/does deal with more random, less

Any education, whether getting a GED or a PhD, is useless without morals.

I think this video misses the point of homeschooling. It’s not just about academics…if it was all about academics I’m sure it would be best to send your child to an elite boarding school where they’d be taught by Ivy League grads. It’s about morals, a point which wasn’t even brought up in the video.
