As yall probably know, I was homeschooled from birth to the end of 'high school', and cut off from most secular culture - except for 3 months, when I attended public school at the age of 14, and ran into a lot of public school norms that shocked and confused me (cont).

All good points, and why I'm going to be homeschooling my kindergartener, even if it kills me.

If parents actually take the time to raise their kids then public schools are fine. Unfortunately a majority of parents the last 20+ years expect the schools to raise their kids. It shouldn't come as a shock that it fails miserably.

I'm curious to hear from secular/hippy homeschoolers on the community/trust side of things. (
@_FitCrit?) I had mixed friends, and found schoolies tended more cruel and/or caught up in judgement. Libertarian home-ed folk may've been less community-oriented? Escaped my notice. -
Haha I already replied to a different part of aella’s thread! The experience described here is very much my own despite a polar opposite homeschool background to what it sounds like aella had.

My problem with homeschooling is that parents are most often not prepared to teach. Also it's non paid labor that usually falls on women to do. Plus limit the children to the social experiences they already have at home. No access to other values or ways of life. And abuse...

System resistance. Is that what bother you?

A question you may wrestle with is how much of the positive aspects of your home schooling were bound with your family’s religion.
-
I generally view all the negative aspects of the homeschooling as bound with the religion - for example, the only thing I learned about evolution was that it was a lie, and also there were very strong, oppressive hierarchical structures inside the families.

Maybe you just went to a shitty public school? Or had shitty teachers? There's a ton of variety in types of schools and teachers
