The Well-adjusted Child
The Well-adjusted Child: The Social Benefits of Homeschooling | Rachel Gathercole
1 post | 2 read
Socialization may well be the single most important aspect of education today. With high and rising rates of divorce, drug abuse, youth violence, alcoholism, teen promiscuity, and so forth, we cannot afford to let this issue go unexamined. To cling to the idea that what we, as a culture, are doing now is the right and best way for all children, simply because it is what we are used to, is to shut our eyes and minds to other possibilities--possibilities that may well afford greater happiness, success, peace, and safety to our own children. At a time when people feel more disconnected than ever before, we cannot afford to overlook an option which offers our youth great benefits--including the rich, fulfilling, and healthy social life they may well need for the future. Homeschooling offers great social benefits to kids and parents. When we understand them, our children are the ones who will win.

1. 50's and rainy... maybe even some thunderstorms!
2. Crocuses or snowdrops back east, jasmine or wisteria in SoCal.
3. I frequently recommend The Well-Adjusted Child to new homeschoolers or those worried about "socialization" and homeschooling.

ImperfectCJ @TReads Looking for crocuses ever year is what got me through many a stale-snow March/April. Spring never meant more to me than when I lived in New England! 5y
Eggs Beautiful!! 5y
TReads @ImperfectCJ Amen to that! We moved deeper into the Rocky Mountains this year, and I'm starting to feel like I'm living in Narnia before Aslan returned. 😂😂😂 #BringOnTheCrocuses (edited) 5y
