> We often believe the point of school is the academics, but I would argue it's the social. Studies indicate social skills are more important to future success than academics.

How much socialization do kids really get in school anyway?

They get 5 minute hallway breaks (if they are lucky) between 7 to 9 periods of classes per day. Maybe the bus ride in/out for 20-30 minutes. Lunch or recess. So how much time is that, again?

Maybe 2-3 hours/day?
