If we can educate our kids at home why do we need to send them at school?

If socialization is a problem in homeschooling, there are many solutions to that ;-)

I would love to hear the solutions for socialization considering homeschooling.

Possible ways to foster socializing include getting in contact with other families who homeschool their children, offering your children to go to a sports or similar kind of club that they enjoy, they can go to music school and/or band practice, or they can just socialize through the internet. I'm sure there are countless other ways too.

Don't you think that families with home schooled children have more or less same values, way of thinking etc...? (Same can be applied for music school.) How will a child learn to cope with something that is far out of his/hers comfort zone? Internet is the most unsociable way of socializing, it is easy to stand your ground behind a computer and something totally different if you have to do it in front of a group of people. I believe that homeschooling doesn't give you a variety of needed interactions with different groups people and it does not prepare you for real life.

No, they don't have the same values. And that's irrelevant anyways if you do your job as a parent right. It doesn't take much to talk to your kid about different possible ways to handle situations.

And socializing in school is a complete joke anyways. I honestly don't understand how people can even try to make that an argument. In school you are forced into a random group of people that you have nothing in common with. There's absolutely no merit in forcing your child into such a situation when you can just let it choose freely who it wants to interact with.

And no, the internet definitely isn't the "most unsocial way to interact with people". If anything, the internet is a far better way of socializing because people can talk about their problems openly without repercussion if they want to. That's not possible in school at all, where you could easily get bullied or shunned for the rest of your time at school if you speak up about something. Not to mention that school is a place of mediocrity and lazy little shits who have forgotten how to live life. I certainly wouldn't want my kid to become another brainless zombie who just follows stupid trends just to belong to some herd of uninspired, lazy and incompetent people.

Kids are much happier when they can do what they want freely while being encouraged to challenge themselves as well as supported when things get rough. None of this happens in school.

If school was a good method of raising a happy and successful child the world wouldn't consist of 99% unhappy and unsuccessful people who look back at their lives in old age and whine about how much they have missed out on.
