Hey, I'm a homeschool kid and I'm perfectly weird

Samesies.
I dunno know why people act like being homeschooled automatically means you were abused. Yes, some abusive parents use homeschooling to isolate their kids (Iā€™m one of those cases, dad wanted to isolate us, mum genuinely wanted us to have a less stressful education) but the homeschooling itself was great.

My parents were abusive and my mum's primary reason for homeschooling was to shelter us from the devil's influence that we would be exposed to in public schools soooo I'm not exactly a helpful example there lol. My science curriculum tried to teach me that god created the earth a few thousand years ago and my history curriculum was full of lots of errors (but so are many public schools) but the other classes were pretty good šŸ™ƒ

It doesn't matter if it can be a good thing because there's rarely a case where it is a good thing. r/homeschoolrecovery for those whom it can help.
