Not referring to you. In fact, I didn't even see where you posted what you refer to above. I saw Mr. Harsey's comments and was prompted by those. No offense intended.
Dewey thought Marx style social engineering was good, and advocated for "socializing" children on this model. Just pointing out the history of the term.
Seriously, I don't think kids suffer from any kind of social retardation from home-schooling. Without obviously lacking social skills in home-school children, I find it hard to understand what people are referring to by "socialization."
I agree that kids need to learn how to interact with others. I do not think public schools have a monopoly on this (if they're any better at all).
