To socialize a child is to teach the child how to be a mature, well adjusted person who can function in society. Again, it is pretty clear that a great many people who went to public school have not developed this way. The reason for that is obvious:

In public school, kids are socialized BY OTHER KIDS. Meaning, they take their social cues and learn how to be people, how to act, what values to adopt, etc, but aping their peers. Blind leading the blind. They come out scarcely more mature than they went in.

In homeschool, however, the socialization is done by the parent. The child learns from the adult how to act, what to do, how to be a person. This is obviously a much better and more successful and more natural system.

When people say homeschool kids are "weird," what they mean is that homeschool kids are mature and can do weird stuff like maintain eye contact and have an intelligent conversation, and to many in our culture that makes them weird, as in abnormal. Which they are. Thank God.

Yep, they love training our kids to obey authority without question while not teaching them any self-sufficiency life skills (personal finance, wood shop, etc.)

I know some awesome kids who have been home schooled, so well behaved. Spend time with grown ups all day, and then meet kids when they play sports. They didn’t learn all the bullying, terrible tactics in public school.

What person in their right mind would even want their kids "socialized" by the state?

Those running a socialist state...
