Socialization Without Government Schools

Here is something I found that I thought was worth sharing.


"When my wife and I mention we are strongly considering homeschooling our
children, we are without fail asked, 'But what about socialization?'
Fortunately, we found a way our kids can receive the same socialization that
government schools provide.

"On Mondays and Wednesdays, I will personally corner my son in the bathroom,
give him a wedgie and take his lunch money. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, my wife
will make sure to tease our children for not being in the 'in' crowd, taking
special care to poke fun at any physical abnormalities. Fridays will be 'Fad
and Peer Pressure Day.' We will all compete to see who has the coolest toys,
the most expensive clothes, and the loudest, fastest, and most dangerous car.

"Every day, my wife and I will adhere to a routine of cursing and swearing in
the hall and mentioning our weekend exploits with alcohol and immorality.

..And we have asked (our kids) to report us to the authorities in the event we
mention faith, religion, or try to bring up morals and values."
