Well geez, I spend all day with her; I guess I'd know! This reminds me of my co-worker asking me “If you daughter isn’t getting any testing than how do you know if she is learning?”

HS'ers do learn to deal with people. When my dd was confronted by a bully at Family Camp she calmy told him "If you think you are better than us than maybe you should play by yourself." and went about her business. The other kids were astounded. DD believes that all adults AND children should behave in a humane and respectful manner. Where did she learn to handle bullies? By hanging out with homeschoolers and people of all ages. I completely agree with what you have written about socialization, or socializing. HS’ers do learn to deal with people.

Its an insurance thing.
