[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never understand why so many people believe homeschooling is isolating. I have homeschooled one of my kids on and off. The years he's homeschooled, he's had so much contact with other people. Other home schoolers, neighborhood friends, friends from extra-curricular activities, family friends etc etc. There's no isolation at all. My other child has gone through regular school the whole time and there is absolutely no difference in their level of socialization. It's definitely the #1 completely way off base idea people have about homeschooling.[/quote] It's mostly mediated by adults, though. I looked seriously into homeschooling and one of the reasons I decided against it was that I couldn't find unstructured social opportunities that were like the neighborhood recess/lunch/after school experience. The co-op groups I observed were much more closely monitored by adults. That's okay and could be what you want, but it's not the same.[/quote]
