I don't know . . . I actually prefer the "In fact she has so many opportunities for socialization that I hardly have time to teach her some days" answer to the "Socialization is actually defined as the process by which" answer. I mean, isn't it possible that the question comes not from the "Official Homeschool Nay Sayers Society", but from someone who doesn't realize that just because kids are homeschooled doesn't mean they never get to go outside or meet kids outside of their own family?
