## Resource

In this episode of Classical Et Cetera, we tackle one of the most common objections to homeschooling: socialization. Are homeschoolers actually missing out socially? Do children really need classrooms and constant peer interaction to grow into mature, capable adults? We discuss the fears many parents face, the assumptions behind modern schooling, and what truly forms children. From co-ops and friendships to peer culture and family life, we explore how homeschooling shapes social development and why “socialization” may not mean what most people think it does. Join us for a thoughtful conversation on homeschooling, community, and raising well-formed children. *What We're Reading* from This Episode: "Time of the Child" Niall Williams (Kathy) "The Dean's Watch" Elizabeth Goudge (Kathy) "This is Happiness" Niall Williams (Tanya) "The Labours of Hercules" Agatha Christie (Tanya) "The Violent Bear It Away" Flannery O'Connor (Paul)
