Yeah, so homeschoolers are generally not kind about the socialization question these days, especially in light of the ways public schools are seeking to indoctrinate children. Homeschooling is not abnormal...government schools are.

My kids play soccer, basketball, piano, drums, guitar, play in the worship band, sing in the homeschool choir, dance with a local team, skateboard, and attend youth group/confirmation classes, youth retreats, as well as a homeschool community on a weekly basis. Basically, we live life just like everyone else without the institutionalized education.

Our homeschool curriculum has them presenting in front of peers constantly in the form of team policy debates, Lincoln-Douglass debates, science fairs, art grant proposals, performing Shakespeare, leading seminars themselves, and defending a senior thesis. This is socialization.

Check out your local homeschool group supports. Do a search for your town and homeschool. I advise homeschooling with other families like yourself. Community is important.
