The Homeschool Socialization Myth | How We Socialize Our Homeschooled Kids

One of the top questions we get asked about homeschooling is, “but what about socialization?” Although the question is understandable, it’s really the homeschool socialization myth. Parents send their kids to school with the expectation that school will (1) educate their kids, and (2) socialize their kids. The reality is that school often fails on both accounts. In previous videos, I shared my perspective as a former teacher about the flawed education system in America. In this video, I explain how school is also not the best way to socialize children. Instead, homeschooling allows families to more intentionally expose their kids to a wide range of opportunities to socialize with different people on a daily basis instead of being trapped in a small room with the same kids all year. I also explain how we socialize our homeschooled kids. Do you think homeschool and socialization are at odds? Check out this video and let me know if you still have concerns!

BTW I apologize to the Mean Girls fans for not getting this out one week earlier, on October 3rd. True fans, y’all know what I mean. :)
