Quote, on the subject of 'socialization' in relation to homeschooling. The quote is from the link "Montessori Homeschooling" at the right of all BHS pages.
The term "Montessori" can be replaced with the phrase "best-possible" or something similar:
"Q. What about socialization?
A. The word socialization, contrary to the opinion of some, does not mean spending the weekdays competing with 25 human beings one's own age. In a natural community children spend their daily lives with old people, babies, and everyone in between. They do not compete, but learn to search out the needs of others and to help them live and learn. This mixed age group and habit of teaching and helping others, and being helped and taught by people younger or older than oneself, is a part of Montessori classes at all ages and is easy to fit into the Montessori homeschooling plan."
