Indeed. We socialize intentionally. Our children are very involved in the community and are even exposed to other practices, religions and cultures. I do believe the social aspect/fears is far overstated for homeschoolers (generally by nonhomeschoolers). I know many who are outstanding socially, demonstrated by their ability to relate not only within, but also outside their peer group and to adults.
The key difference is the exposure is guided by a loving parent who shares the same values, respect, love for God and his word as the student. That may or may not be the case in a institution.
