I'm not defending homeschooling, but the stuff I was allowed to figure out on my own is what enables me to sell left-of-center/offbeat writing almost as fast as I can find time to write it. And what did I do? I mostly ate oreos, exercised, played video games, and wrote fanfiction
If I wanted to read a pocket book I found on our shelves, like Out of the Silent Planet or The Unmaking of a Mayor or Linda Goodman's Sun Signs, I did so. Nothing I read or watched was censored or questioned in any way, though I was asked what I learned from, say, a slasher movie
My parents didn't really want a plot summary or anything, but they insisted I squeeze some interpretive value out of whatever bullshit I was engaged with. But since I hadn't been hit w/ the theory academia applies to justify writing about pop culture, this was my work
Every single thing I did was integrated into a kind of total curriculum impossible in a more formal setting. And that's how I approach all of the writing work I do now: every single essay or feature or short story is part of a whole, as some stans have noted
