If it makes you feel better, I was public schooled, and a lot of the kids seemed to have really awful social skills. This kind of numb mindlessness. Not everyone, but it was too widespread. Something about sitting still doing nothing for 7 hours, surrounded by people but forbidden from interacting with them.
I'm sure there were many benefits but public schools don't seem to be doing great at socializing kids.
- abnry 3y agoI have a bunch of siblings, all of us homeschooled. Between all of us, some are more "socialized" than others. You can't leave out the individual in this discussion.
- AlwaysRock 3y agoIn general, schools do a fine job. Do they do an exceptional job in every case? No. But most people who go to public schools end up with okay social skills. I really don't think the same can be said of home school kids. Or at least those same social skills will take dedicated work to develop and may not materialize until well into adulthood.
