I can tell you what this looks like, and it works. What it means, however, is a tremendous amount of responsibility for parents to make the uncomfortable effort to create a community for their children. You *have* to kiss some frogs to find your people, to find their people. I *had* to learn how to be honest and communicate and not just abdicate social structure to the machine because I don’t like Jessie’s mom or my house is messy and it’s scary to host and I’m an introvert which makes me a special snowflake who never has to deal with people. Parents who keep their kids home but don’t deal with their stuff end up with the same kind of woke-broken, neurotic, depressed teens as everyone else.
