Homeschooling, would you consider it? Why or why not?

It is YOUR job as a parent to ensure that your child can survive and thrive in multiple social environments.

Really? I must ensure this? What if a parent has done everything in their power to do so and the kid is still a work in progress when they get to college? Should those students be crushed by your big bad dose of "get over it"? Wow!

Two words: gap year.

If your kid isn't ready for college.... DON'T SEND HIM TO COLLEGE. It's not that complicated.

And it's certainly not a professor's job to get your child up to speed socially.

Heck, I went to a huge Big 10 college, and my freshman courses were a string of 400+person lecture-type classes. I certainly wasn't being taught social graces by my professors-- they didn't even know who I was.

Ditto.

Or if you kid can't handle a normal university send him/her to a small liberal arts college where he/she will continue to be coddled.
