People are often very curious about the way we do things and we get many questions from many different people. There are 2 questions that people ask us most often. The first question that we get asked a lot is about homeschooling. Now, I know what you're thinking! You're probably assume that we get asked about the logistics of homeschooling, or where we get our curriculum from, or how we handle math and science, but you're wrong to assume that. The question that we're asked the most is "What about socializing your kids?" For some reason most people assume that homeschooling your kids means having them locked away from all contact with other people. I am not the only homeschooling parent (and yes, us homeschooling parents do talk amongst each other and exchange information) that has come across this. Others have reported everyone from close relatives to strangers in the store being concerned over homeschool kids not having enough "social time". Many non-homeschooling people assume that the main reason for sending kids to school is to be with other kids. Wait a minute ... I thought that the whole idea of sending your kids to school was so that they could get education.
