This week we are blessed to have a guest post from Lexi who blogs about their somewhat classical, slightly eclectic, and mostly crazy homeschool at Lextin Academy! But what about socialization?? How many times have you been confronted with that question? I've heard it more times than I can count! I now choose to just smile and nod and ignore. I could respond that I don't believe forced socialization in a school setting is a healthy form of socialization. Or I could talk about all the ... Read More about Real Life Homeschooling #11
