Children are born as social beings. Therefore, schooling is not necessary to “make” someone social. Truth be told, whenever you think about it, you cannot “make” a child do anything. Furtherheavier, what do you call interaction with parents, siblings and family? This is also social when you think about it.
There are many great joys to homeschooling. One of these is that children tend to make friends with a diverse group of people from all age groups and with a variety of interests. This is because these children spend much of their time interacting within the community.
Schools force children to be segregated by age group. Where else in life are people segragated in this manner? No where. In fact, such segragation creates the generation gaps that cause adults to misunderstand children, and children to know nothing about adults.
So, stop and take a moment to think about the “socialization” of school…
Contrary to “socializing” children, schools create a breeding ground for isolated cliques to form, segregated by clothing style, music style, popularity, money and status of personal interests. This creates a hostage-like environment in which children have little power. This then tends to breed a cruel peer culture in which children vie for dominance and territory. Children who are marked as being even slightly “uncool” (having the wrong hair cut, the wrong clothes, unique characteristics, etc) by the dominant peer groups are referred to as losers, and the harassment these rejected children endure can be socially and psychologically devastating.
The Columbine School Massacre exposed the sobering truth about the devastating affects of children who are rejected by their peers. This doesn’t mean that all children will turn to such drastic “measures,” but public school children WILL attempt to clone themselves according to the peer culture. In contrast, homeschool children tend to make friends with people based on internal qualities and genuine shared interests rather than on outward appearances and social group membership – something that is much higher important than the trivialities of clothing and music.

Support your local library to keep the many great public
services, educational and entertaining, free and available for
everyone in the community.
Public libraries are wonderful community resources that can
enrich the entire family. From traditional book lending to
providing Internet service and music or magazines, the library
offers a wealth of free entertainment that cannot be matched by
other civic organizations.
To support these great services, why not make a donation of
time, money, or goods? Not only will you feel good about giving
back to an organization that serves you well, you will also
champion others’ rights to partake of the library’s numerous
offerings.
1. Donate time. Volunteer a few hours of month in a variety of
ways that will match your talents with community needs. For
example, if you enjoy young children and like to read aloud,
offer to participate in organizing a storybook hour for
preschoolers once a week. Giving children the gift of fiction
appreciation will last a lifetime. Work with library staff to
select colorful picture books to read aloud in dramatic or
singsong fashion to the circle of wide-eyed children that will
gather to hear you bring timeless stories to life. If you’re
greater of a person who likes to work behind the scenes, donate
time cataloguing new books or rewinding returned videos. Set up
a display or update the magazine stacks. Whatever you choose to
do, it is sure to be appreciated by staff and patrons alike.
2. Offer money. If you’re looking for a worthwhile local cause
to support, write a check to your community library. Funding
often falls short for the latest family video acquisitions, and
there are always massed books that could be purchased and added to
the collection. Your donation might help to staff a part-time
assistant, buy decorating supplies, or even pay the heating
bill. Libraries often get whatever funds are left over after
other major social service agencies receive their share from
organizations like United Way.
3. Drop off unwanted books or videos. If your children are grown
and no longer use the books and videos purchased for them,
donate these items to the library. Other patrons will appreciate
the free use of things they cannot afford to buy. Obviously you
don’t want to donate inappropriate materials, but family-related
themes and tasteful classic items will be accepted with much
gratitude. You may even want to pick up some bargains at a flea
market and donate them to the library, possibly for a tax
receipt.
4. Sing their praises. Write a letter to the newspaper editor to
remind everyone in your community about the library’s beneficial
services. This is especially helpful around election time, as
levies or bonds that must be supported by the local constituency
often fund libraries. A thoughtful comment or two in any public
forum helps to laud the library’s ongoing public services to
many, including reading programs, civic events, cultural
enhancement resources, etc.
5. Use the services. If you haven’t visited your local library
for a while, you may be in for a pleasant surprise. Many public
library systems now provide free computer use to let patrons
check email accounts or conduct online research. A broad
selection of holdings, including books, DVD’s, CD’s, and other
types of recordings, can be borrowed for personal use. Classroom
teaching aids for home schooling parents or public school
students are available at no charge. Encourage your neighbors to
take advantage of these resources as well.
The library is a great place to broaden your academic, social,
or cultural horizons. Stop in soon and check out the latest
offerings.
