Socialization Myth

There have been two studies (that I know of) to date that have looked at the "socialization" of adults who were home-educated as children. Both studies determined that the home-educated were more socially engaged than those schooled outside the home.

The two studies are the following:

Fifteen Years Later: Home-Educated Canadian Adults (CCHE)

A nice blog post that summarizes a few high points from the two articles can be read over at Earth Friendly Mama.
