    Homeschooling =/= isolation. I didn’t socialize as much as I would’ve in school but I hung out with kids in my neighborhood, played sports, played at parks and playgrounds, went to summer camp, and did other stuff that let me socialize and make friends. Homeschooling parents that fall to do that are just doing a bad job, it’s not an inherent downside of not sending your kid to public school

        With our child it was the opposite. Where they wanted to go more in depth into a topic they were forced to move on or were only taught for testing, whereas with homeschooling he was able to explore books and ideas that wouldn’t have been provided by the school.
