[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One big concern is lack of socialization and loneliness. Where do kids find a circle of friends?[/quote]
homeschool co-ops! sports. scouts. other organized activities. we love homeschooling because our kid actually gets to socialize MORE and has a really wide circle of friends.[/quote]

Kids who go to school do sports, scouts and other activities.  But it’s *on top* of school so they actually have much more opportunity for socialization than homeschooled children. [/quote]

Those activities are *on top of homeschooling* core classes, which can be done at home, online, or in person class. The type of "socialization" your kids experience involves same age kids. The type of socialization my homeschooled kids experience is with same age, close in age, younger and older children, adults of various ages and senior citizens. My children are comfortable speaking with anyone, no matter their age. Being able to hang with same age peers isn't socialization. Being able to converse with anyone is a social skill, which many homeschool children achieve at a young age.[/quote]
