How much socialization do we *actually* need, and how much (and what type) should our children be exposed to?We start off by looking at two opposing philosophical viewpoints on this subject from Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Thomas Hobbes. Then we get into politics, public education, how "de-socializing" changed our own worldviews, overbearing high school administrators, inappropriate spankings, & our t...
