Or pedantic: it's an observation that "home schooling" correlates well with shorting social interaction. Why is left as an exercise to the interested reader.
Well, taking them out of school 'changes' social interaction, not home-schooling per se. I deny its 'shorting' anything.
Ok, its shorting the danger, bad hygiene and bad social interaction part. But done right its adding real social skills (teamwork, leadership, public service), keeping her healthier and demonstrating real social skills.
Because school, especially middle school, is not showcasing social skills you want her to learn. Cliques, ostracizing, bullying, humiliation are lessons to be sure. But they can stunt growth, particularly in the very young.
