Socialization: A Great Reason Not to Go to School


Many people who consider the issue of parents teaching their children at home ask, "But what about socialization?" I've observed hundreds of home-schooled children of various ages in various places in two countries, so I'm confident that home-schooling children doesn't harm them socially. But university researchers continue to explore the issue of homeschooling socialization, and here I'll report on a Ph.D. thesis devoted solely to that subject, and on some related research.

As contraception has become more effective there is less need for parents, churches and states to inculcate sexual mores. Technology affects culture.
