I support public school teachers and administrators, and I believe that the decisions we make about educating our children are highly personal and vary greatly from family to family, and even from child to child. But this socialization argument needs to go. Why is this the first thing that pops into people's minds when they want to argue against homeschooling? It baffles me. The stereotype of the shut-in, isolated homeschooler is so outdated and inaccurate. Just spend five minutes scrolling homeschool-related hashtags on Instagram and you'll see what I mean. Those kids are making solar panels out of recycled materials in their STEM co-ops. They're reading to people at the local retirement home. They're running amuck with their forest playgroups, rehearsing with their community theatre troupe, collecting canned foods for the needy, touring the local fire station, hosting book clubs, and traveling the world. Sure, there are occasions where that tired old stereotype might be true, but
