I would love to homeschool my children and that is my goal but I worry about them not being thick skinned enough. I could care less if they don't learn how "to socialize" with other people because why would I want them to be like other people. I just feel that you can't isolate yourself so much or we become like the native Americans who can't function off the reservations because they only know "their" culture. I guess that is where you make "socializations" part of the curriculum of home schooling and you can select the environment.
Ideally you have to learn to live in this world (because that is where God put us) but desire not for it. You have to train your will of desire. Enter the Holy Ghost.
The whole thing is a mess.
When children are sheltered in order to be raised in the faith, they *will* be different than the rest of the world because their upbringing should make them that way - but by the time they go out into the world, their spiritual suit of armor (which you helped build and fit), should be so thick that they can enter into their trials with a certain degree of confidence that the providence of Our Lord will help them in whatever endevour they pursue.
No matter what, the temptations will visit them to get them to remove the suit from themselves, if they keep their armor on, it'll only make the suit even stronger, if they remove it, they do so of their own free will and except for prayer, there is nothing you can do about it - but make no mistake, if they were the typical child, they have no real worries about socializing.
From the few "sheltered trads" that I have delt with career wise, they are usually among the pick of the crop, well mannered, polite, have a good sense of humor, dependable, often display a noticeable respect for authority, are quick learners and etc. and socialize as well as anyone.
