If kids want to socialize like they used to socialize in school, I recommend they be signed up for neighborhood sports teams, for boy or girl scouts, and/or go to church and Sunday school every Sunday. When the public school kids get home from school they can all ride their bikes around the neighborhood, and maybe play stickball in the street or an empty lot.
In other words, public schools don’t allow for very much socializing. Even kindergartners around here get only one 15 minute recess per day, and that’s with full-day kindergarten. What do they get instead? Tons of mind-numbing and useless homework to train them to pass the NCLB tests.
