The idea of socialization in schools is very overrated. Most home schooling families network and work with like-minded families. The real positive in home schooling is that knowledge gained is of a much higher quality, takes less time and enables the growing student much more free time. Obviously the free time is much easier to monitor by parents, because the kids are home or at sanctioned places by the parent. Not by school teachers that do not have the same investment in the child, and let many things (drugs, sex, etc.) occur without batting an eye. So actually like the home school education, the child has a much healthier period of socialization with healthier peers.
