For what it is worth, most people use the socialization excuse for not homeschooling. My daughter tried school last year and it was NOT a good fit. The same stuff. They gym was entirely too loud for her, as was the cafeteria (the smells would even bother her in there). Let's not mention what a fire drill does for her senses - yeah, she is done for the day.

We are back to homeschooling and she is thriving. I think "home" schooling is a myth as most days we have trouble staying home as there is so much to do outside of the house - and all of it includes some form of socialization.

Here are some socialization articles:
