However, when I was in school, there was an element of socialization taking place with other children that was a lot of fun.
Close friendships, singing songs together at Christmastime (altho’ many public schools seem to be choosing bland, “non denominational” songs over Christmas carols these days, in the name of some perversion of political correctness, also seemingly favored by brain dead “educators”…)
(the philosophy of educators today seems to be, everybody gets a blue ribbon, no one excels, because the other kids “feel bad”…)
Anyway, home schooled children would miss the socialization of elementary school. It is not the focus of school, but it takes place as an aside in school.
