The problem, in my experience, is that such strategies aren't taught: being "forced to learn" that way works about as well as being "forced to learn" math by being quizzed, repeatedly, on arithmetic and told only that you've gotten it right or wrong, but not what the right answer is.
"Hide in the corner and don't say anything" might be a strategy for avoiding active attack, but it's not socialization.
Yes, I'm still bitter. Though in my case, home schooling probably wouldn't have helped: I was dealing with a school system that either didn't notice the problem or had no idea of how to teach it, and parents who had no idea of what the strategies were, much less how to teach them.
