Too true, Miss Bossy-pants. Tell your son and DDL that whole "socialization" argument is crap. I hear over and over again and well socialized homeschooled kids are as they interact with ALL ages. There are homeschool co-ops and places like for DGS to meet kids his age all over the joint theses days. The only 2 questions that need be answered are
1) Is it really safe for him to go to ps?
2) what kind of education will he really receive ps?
I hope this helps.
