I have a question...

Occasionally, with a wide and varied range of people, the subject of homeschooling comes up. And somebody inevitably pops up to say they're against homeschooling because "they want their children to learn to socialize". And yet, if they sent their kid to school, and the kid spent time with his/her friends in class, the teacher invariably says "you're not here to socialize, you're here to learn". Which is true. If you want to socialize, aside from HUGE homeschooling groups, there's other places like the playground and structured "after school" activities. But some people just keep missing the point, I think.

For example, Allie (the girl) runs around taking other peoples things and then claiming they are hers.

So will my sister's cousin Junior, and he's been in public school all his life. Hell, so will her ex-roommate from the group home in White Plains, she's a real troublemaker, and she's been in group homes since she's been old enough. You'd think that'd teach you socialization damn fast, being around a lot of different kids all the time, and all of them can beat you up, but it hasn't, she's just a nasty bitch.
