I find it hard to imagine how a single family can offer the diversity of experiences present in a public school
Which is why my children meet children from many other families, and ADULTS from many other families, in their community activities. What they do in the outside world spans a much wider territory than the attendance area of our friendly local public schools, and exposes them to a lot of people who are of different ages besides just their own age plus or minus one year. (This is a general response that is true of most homeschooling families. More specifically about my own family, we have lived in two different countries since our oldest son was born, and he was all over the United States and even overseas for summer academic programs before he finished his secondary education.)
Yes I am sure in their community no children would ever fight in front of their parents, and they only meet up with their friends during homeschool hours. "Times up, junior, let's return to our cloister and shutter the windows for the night."
School is not the only place one finds romantic partners. As for fights, fisticuffs are not generally an accepted method of conflict resolution in the adult world anyway.
Fights and fighting aren't the way adults usually solve issues, but it's an important part of growing up (if for no other reason then learning that you've no taste for it).
I was not homeschooled, and I never fought, dated or slept with anyone in my school. So I would not really see these things are inherent to the public school in and of itself, but rather to the character of the individual in question.
