Homeschooling is genuinely just denying your child a chance at success in life

Oh yeah, I understand parents wanting some freedoms when it comes to education, but a lot of states have straight up NO rules

homeschooling is a viable and logical option for students with learning delays or trauma that could be triggered at school. with legitimate oversight and actual homeschool classes with other students held at a separate building, it’s fairly effective with the proper teaching certifications. parents should be required to have a certain degree of education themselves (BS, preferably MA) before approval and certification in implementing homeschool education.

I say restrictions because I notice a pattern with child abuse/deaths and homeschooling

My college roommate was homeschooled and is planning to go to graduate school for his major. Clearly it depends on the environment.

And he’s extremely successful. Why are you downvoting? Does his existence threaten your opinion?

That’s extremely anecdotal, the fact of the matter is the data shows very clearly that homeschooling has a typically negative effect on children

Yes but if there exists a successful person who has undergone the same thing does that not suggest other factors besides just “homeschooling”? Besides, in the event that we become a fully fascist regime operating on the educational level, wouldn’t those restrictions backfire?

One success story, while great, means very little. Could very well just be a statistical outlier, as the data suggests. You’re almost certainly right, there are most likely other contributing factors. But based on the data, those other factors are also closely tied with homeschooling, which indicates that even if those other factors are present without homeschooling involved, it would hopefully yield better results

this is coming from an Education Tech doctorate student with a BS in Biology and MA in Education. my partner’s mom is a homeschool teacher and her entire home is FILLED with books, multiple rooms could be considered the library in their house. she hosts classes at a separate building for school, and she teaches students in separate classes by grades 1 through 12. One day she is reading “H Is For Honda” picture book with the youngest grades and the next, she’s reading Hamlet with the teens!

This is where I somewhat agree and that’s why I propose outright restrictions rather than an making it illegal because I feel it’s so easy for abusive parents to isolate their kids and to hide abuses that might come out of that kids mouth at school
