I'm surprised there's anti-homeschool sentiment here on HN were we (supposedly) value learning to think for ourselves, doing what we're passionate about, having side-projects, and thinking differently.
- macspoofing 12y agoI personally am not against anti-homeschool in principle. However, there are some people that choose homeschool for very bad reasons, usually rooted in certain religious beliefs and fear of exposing children to 'corrupting' ideas. This segment makes up a significant portion of the homeschooling population (or roughly ~40%). Some of my friends went through it. It's not pretty.
