WTF lets play guess the race.

And that's just another reason why your kids are going to have problems fitting in with other kids. Social skills are learned at a very young age.

Actually that is a huge misconception about home schooled kids.
As long as kids that are home schooled participate in activities with other children, that won't be the case....Not to mention that they are plenty of kids who attend public and private schools and still lack social skills...

I'm not gonna tell you how to do things, because that is really none of my business. I'm just throwing it out there, that studies show: children who are home schooled, or are overly pampered have serious issues with fitting in later in life.

You're right, after school activities such as sports and martial arts will give the child confidence to go out and make friends. The problem is that children are very clingy to their parents, because they count on them to do everything for them. Now if a kid is forced to rely on themselves and people other than their parents at an early stage in their life, the transition to independence later in life will be much more forgiving. Public school teaches a child that there are other things in life than just sucking on mommies boob all day.
