School is a good place to learn about other people, to make friends, and to discover how to work with other people in society, but when you are home schooled you are not as likely to have that opportunity. “All children need to learn how to have relationships with their peers, and home schoolers are sometimes at a disadvantage in this area because they do not have as many opportunities for forming friendships (www.allaboutparenting.org, “Disadvantages of Home Schooling”).” People that support home schooling would say that there are lots of activities that they do in their home schooling community. However, socialization is not only about parties and having fun with friends, it’s about working and interacting every day with people who are different from you (Laden, 09/03/07, “Home Schooling Internet Meme”). Also, when children are home schooled, the parent who is teaching them may have one particular perspective on the world and they may teach their children those biases. On the other hand, in public schools students are exposed to many different types of ideas on subjects and to different teaching methods (Criss, [|www.123-character-education.com], “Home-schooling Researched”).Children that don’t get to go out into the world will not be able to be social later in life.
