    [quote="Chelle"]Here's a question to ponder:

    How much "socialization" do children really need?
    [/quote]

    Kids need socialization. If they don't, they end up growing up with serious problems.[/quote]

    Your answer is great if the question was "Do children need socialization?" But it wasn't. The question was "[i][b]How much[/b][/i] socialization do children really need?"

    A lot? A little?

    The common myth is that homeschooled children aren't socialized. What propagators of this myth [i][b]really[/b][/i] mean is that children who are homeschooled are not indoctrinated with all the liberal and godless doctrine that the public school system would have them absorb and accept.

    Not all parents are meant to be homeschoolers, nor are all children meant to be homeschooled. If parents are truly led of God to teach their children this way, God will equip them (by giving them the wisdom to know what their strengths and weaknesses are, and also guiding them to the resources that will work best in teaching their children according to the childrens' learning style -- whether visual or auditory). [i]NOTE: I am [b]not[/b] one of those who believes that if parents send their children to public or Christian school that they are doing a disservice to them spiritually.[/i]

    It's just a pet peeve of mine that many consider homeschooled children "weird" or "isolated" simply because they are homeschooled. That's the main reason I wanted to ask that question about how much socialization they need. Contrary to what some might think, I was [b][i]not[/i][/b] implying that they don't need any. Are we clear? Good. :D
