If public school is supposed to be the good socializer, one wonders why it's done such a poor job of it.

Many lies are told by those who want to stop you from making the choice to educate your

own children. They'll say, for example, that homeschool kids don't perform as well academically as

public school kids. While research has consistently shown that to be a lie, they'll say that

parents aren't as qualified to teach their own children. That's clearly untrue. What a child needs

most of all is not tutoring from experts in every academic discipline. He's not going to receive

that in public school anyway, but a personalized educational experience tailored to his own unique

needs. Nobody's better equipped to provide that than his parents. But by far, the biggest lie about

homeschooling, and also the most common argument made against it, is that homeschool kids aren't

properly socialized. This line is especially ironic now as public school kids have been trapped in

their homes behind computers for a year, but putting the lockdowns aside, the claim that homeschooled

kids won't develop the excellent social skills of public school children is absurd for a number of

reasons. The first being that public school kids don't have excellent social skills or any social

skills at all. To the people who make this claim, I want to ask, have you spent any time, you know,

in society? Maybe you've noticed that though we are a society mostly populated by people who

spent their formative years in public school, we're also a society plagued by crippling anxiety,

neuroses, ample insecurities, all sorts of anti-social behavior. If public school is supposed to be the

good socializer, one wonders why it's done such a poor job of it. In the schools themselves,

we're told that bullying is an epidemic. We know that drug and alcohol abuse are major problems.

Childhood suicide was on the rise even before the lockdowns accelerated the trend.

Sure, you may have met an awkward homeschool kid and youth group when you were in seventh grade,

but if you can draw sweeping conclusions based on that anecdotal evidence, what kind of conclusions
