involvement is uniquely different.

Oh, sure, I didn't mean to suggest that *all* of his social involvement
happens at preschool, but that because they eat a communal meal together
(served "family style", not lunchboxes from home) they get age-appropriate
practice in the niceties of eating a meal with others ("please pass...",
"excuse me", etc...)

I think he does get a lot of social interaction with the rest of us at
various times, just not at the dinner table.
