Socialization in Homeschooling enviroment

Homeschooling have been becoming the alternative education for children in America and the number of homeschooling kids has been improved in recent years. Many parents in The US consider homeschooling as the best educational method for their children instead of sending their children to traditional schools. However, being homeschooled is not always a good way for children to accomplish their studies because children have a limitation to develop their socialization in homeschooled environments. It is also the significant problem that parents should think about before deciding to give their children the homeschooled education.
Children going to school are not only to improve their knowledge, but also to develop their social skills among their friends and teachers. Therefore, to archive this purpose, traditional schools are still good opportunities for children to study because they have chances to interact with people work in peer groups and learn from each others. In contract, homeschooled students who are educated at home cannot always receive all of those benefits.
Firstly, staying the house and working in a small group or even an individual give children a limited environment to communicate with people. They just study with their parents or private tutors who are not the same age as them. It makes them difficult to talk with their peers because they do not have a social experience to get along with their friends. Furthermore, they do not have a lot of opportunities to participate outside activities with many people like playing sports, taking vacations with class or school and competing with friends in many kinds of events. Those are really helpful for students to make friends and become active person in society. Even though, sometimes they might receive peers pressure, they still can learn and get experience from that. It even makes them stronger and let them learn how to deal with different kinds of people. Homeschooled children do not have to worry about getting hurt by their peers, but they will not know how to overcome it if they are always protected by their parents. Going to schools everyday and having different conversations and activities with friends are really important for children to develop their socialization. I used to meet one girl when I first attended in my college. She was 14 year old, but she studied the third year here. I was really surprised because she received homeschooling method her whole life. However, she was really quite and lonely. She did not talk a lot with people and just stayed in the library to study by herself. I think because she had never stepped out of her homeschooled environment, therefore she did not know how to start the conversation and get along with people. That is really sad for a young girl like her. Thus, comparing with traditional students, homeschooled students mostly become less productive members in society. That is the negative effect homeschooling brings to children. Secondly, working with peer groups is significantly important to develop their social skills. Students in traditional schools have many opportunities to work in groups with their peers when they study or play together. They can show their opinion or argue about a particular problem with their friends or their teacher. They also can help each other to archive the good results or have good processes in class or various activities. All of those thing make students improve their social development and their friendship when they work in a big community. That is a missing point that homeschooled kids desire to have when they are just surrounded by their parents. Furthermore, they do not have opportunities to learn different things from their friends and teachers like traditional schools. When kids go to school they will interact with a lot of people who have different kinds of background and personal beliefs. That will make them learn more about other people, other cultures and have their own idea to develop themselves. They can receive a lot of knowledge and experiences from their friends and teacher. Therefore, they will learn how to be good friends and tolerate to people around them. Homeschooled environment has a limitation about that.For all of those missing points about the socialization those homeschooled children do not have. Homeschooling cannot be considered as a best method for American children. There are a lot of alternative educational methods, but the most important thing is let children receive the best learning environment to accomplish themselves
