Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, homeschooling can be a great option for those who choose to do so.
Socializing is an odd subject to discuss. You are basically discussing the opportunity to lead and interact with people. You're right, there needs to be something in place for homeschoolers to do so.
I actually preferred talking with adults when I was growing up versus some of my peers. I couldn't care less about some of the things they were concerned with. To be fair, it was some of them, and not all. The ones who had parents deeply engaged with them I connected with more easily.
