> Home schooled students almost always are not well equipped to deal with conflict or consensus building You imply that traditional schooling teaches this, but in my experience plenty of people never learn either skill and perhaps work is where we learn it. I've just been a fly-on-the-wall seeing 3x 20s women trying to resolve a significant conflict - they all seemed to have a horrific struggle because 2 of them were extreme conflict avoiders. I see the same issue in some 50s to 70s friends: an inability to deal with facts or conflicts leading to poor outcomes for themselves. Do most home schooled children lack intuititively learned social skills? Alternatively, some friends with great social skills had lots of siblings (I think that helps too).
