<p>Yes that’s true. I’m of the belief that social skills are partially genetic and partially environmental (in extreme cases it can be mostly genetic). Some people don’t need that much interaction to become <em>really</em> socially adept. The thing is - plenty of homeschooled kids have normal social skills - but their parents are a lot more sociable and interactive than I am. I could learn from their parents though. (after all my skills are still deficient even though I did go through public school as well - public school doesn’t help some people’s skills develop).</p>

<p>it’s hard to say. I can’t be <em>that</em> sure that he would be brutally teased. but it may be more desirable since EITHER WAY he’s be brutally teased.</p>
<p>if he were too brutally teased, I’d just sign a waver to opt him out of school so that I could homeschool him.</p>
