On Socializaion

“Children who can get along with their parents…can get along with anybody. In my travels I tend to deal with all sorts of young people in a variety of situations, and those who are taught at home are invariably more sociable and conversant. It became so apparent I would say to a well-informed one, “Are you homeschooled?”… The graces that children who are taught in the home environment gain are emotional and intellectual and religious freedoms capable of engaging any social milieu.”Larry Woiwode in Words Made Fresh: Essays on Literature and Culture
