There are really two reasons people ask this question. One is because they are truly seeking to understand how homeschoolers get along not seeing the same group of children each day. The other is because they are under the false impression that homeschoolers lock their children in a closet until they graduate and by then, they are so weird, lonely and devoid of social skills, they are incapable of getting along in the "real world." First, I want to share some of the truths of socialization and...
I am pre -empting my "A Question of Homeschooling" series of articles this week for a word from This Day in History because it has to do with communication...
