"children need to interact with other children"

The two home schooled girls I raised had skates, swingset with all attachments, vollyball/badminton nets, basketball goal, and an in-ground swimming pool, and dolls, and toys, and games, and computers ... they had more neighborhood kids "interacting" than I knew what to do with. They had lots of playmates, without the drug emporium, and "influences" which I wouldn't have known about, at school.

And, I knew, or got to know ... their parents.
