Homeschooled kids don’t have social skills !? 🤨😤

They better put some respect on our kids names! Act like ya know! #homeschoolpride

This is a “concern” that friends and family would bring up often when I told them I was homeschooling my children, before the pandemic. I’m really not sure where people get this idea from that school is the only place, or even the best place to socialize a child.

In short, our children are not only fine but thrive when it comes to interacting nicely with others.

Now some hard truth:

As a teacher, many of the schools I’ve taught in or visited are the last place I would want my child to be socialized. That even includes so called good schools in a blue rated school districts where Socialization looks like:

- Girls being teased for plump or skinny bodies, developing body image and confidence issues
- Sexual harassment and touching as early as kindergarten
- Dehumanization and degradation of children by adults
- Physical restraint and choking by adults
- Dark skinned boys being treated unfairly and undervalued by adults and children

So when people complain that my children won’t be socialized, it takes a lot for me not to roll my eyes. But I understand, this is the only type of socialization we in America, where all children have access to go to school, understand.
