I think you can be in the world but not of the world. I wouldn't hole my kids up and keep them away from people, nor would I hide from them the realities of life. Quite the contrary - I want them to be engaged in society - I just don't want them to believe (or be convinced, which is what happens) that the way society functions is the only possibility. I want the opportunity and the time to show them different models for living. 12 years of schooling, 7 hours a day - that's a lot of time for learning a lot of bad ideas.
