[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably in the vast minority here, but I see school being as much, if not more, about worldview-building and character development than about equipping with academic or social skills. If DC were not in immersion for a specific, desired language, would probably be homeschooled.[/quote] isn't "worldview-building and character development" gained by being exposed to different people outside of your control? It's funny that I generally agree with the first part of your statement yet think SCHOOL is the better place to gain that perspective than home schooling, learning to get along with others and negotiate needs independently. Many homeschoolers are vaccine nuts or hyper religious, which isn't the worldview I'd ever want.[/quote]
