The only value I ever saw in the socialization aspect was when we had early childhood education centers that were family oriented (as opposed to age) and the older kids taught the young kids to use the potty. After that, it was all power and cliques.
On a side note: in 1995 I used the word socialization in a sentence with a government official and immediately had to spend 5 minutes defining my meaning was not whatever she thought it was. Words mutate overtime in government and there are actually hot and cold words for grants. I'm pretty sure I would have got the same reaction even if she hadn't been a racist in the old sense (a shame when that happens to minorities particularly when its directed at other minorities).
