Socialization is a Bunch of Malarkey — See Jamie blog

Socialization is a Bunch of Malarkey — See Jamie blog

I have to admit that, as a homeschooling family, I  have been worried about socialization. But, I have been seeing a lot of articles lately about it and  am not so worried now.

so·cial·ize (v.)

1. To place under government or group ownership or control.
2. To make fit for companionship with others; make sociable.
3. To convert or adapt to the needs of society.

WOW! Those are scary meanings. I do not want my child to conform and be another robot. So, it has been all right that he doesn't get what government considers to be socializing.  He does great when we are out and he has no problem being around other people. He can talk to anyone and does. Very funny kid and has a ton of energy. If he was in regular government school that would be broken out of him. I am so glad that I have not bought into all of the socializing mumbo jumbo. He will be a much better person for being able to think for his self and not be like everyone else.

Slacking!

I know that I have been slacking in my writing on this blog. I have been so busy with homeschooling and all of my time and energy is going into that. I want to start sharing some frugal tips that I do for homeschooling soon. Hope to get some writing done in the next couple of weeks. Hubby is in the process of changing jobs, so he will be home most night the next 2 weeks. There is so much that needs done in the next 2 weeks while he can help me.
