Playground rules change daily don't they? Who knows how you're supposed to act on any given day?! Some kids are always going to find it harder than others and I don't think that the method of schooling makes much difference. I know someone that was homeschooled for most of her primary school years and I think it has stood her well socially. She has learnt to go outside the comfort zone to make new friends. She is much more socially adept than me!
