As a Grandmother with lots of toddler grandchildren, if one catches something now he or she gets treated as a pariah cause God forbid any child catch a cold. They get banned from school, banned from extended family visits, doomed to isolation. For frigging colds, and then the drama about “you exposed my precious child to illness” from the parents. WTF happened to normal childhood colds and flu….

Yup; the "lack of socialization" or receiving less socialization has been a specious argument against homeschooling for years. I can say that most of the kids I went to public school with were NOT people that I respected or ever wanted to be friends with......that has not changed over the years. The people I've met from time to time who HAVE been homeschooled are incredibly bright, capable and critical thinkers--most of them.
