RE: Unschooling Blog, Vol. 26: Kids Don't Need School to Learn to Read (Learning to read is as natural as learning to walk.)

I think school nowadays is more for social aspect , not to study kids) so they learn how to be in with other kids and socialise with them.

As someone who has taught in public schools for years, the "socialization" learned there is very, very poor in quality. Unschooled children socialize not only with kids the same age as them but babies, the elderly, older brothers and sisters, adults in the community, and their peers.
