[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How often are your children in a situation where they have to work with random peers? A homeschool co-op, no matter how large, strikes me as a pretty self-selecting group. And while I see the appeal of the independence and autonomy of homeschooling, I also think there's a lot of value in the tyoe of learning that starts with, "There's a kid in my class who just won't stop [doing x] and it bugs me!"[/quote] It is not really any more self-selecting than a small private school. And they have certainly encountered instances in their co-op classes of "So-and-so would not stop talking during class and so we didn't get to do XYZ!" They also encounter a variety of peers from all backgrounds in their community activities, which also means having to work with people with different strengths and weaknesses. This includes having kids who act out, having to work in small groups, etc.[/quote]
