"Socialization" in the Public Schools - What is actually learned...

I read a statement written by a fellow homeschooling mom which she had recently posted on her blog.  I think it sums up the type of "socialization" that actually takes place in the public schools.  I hope she doesn't mind that I quote her here on my own blog.  Check out her blog for more enlightening tidbits.

"In public school I learned that being yourself could possibly be detrimental to your popularity.  I  learned that you had to be like everyone else in order to be liked by everyone else.  I learned how to be fake.  Why would I want my kids to learn that?"  - Jessica http://moldingmindshomeschool.blogspot.com
