WHAT??? That can't be right, I know many people from my co-op days who hated being homeschooled. I disliked only the social aspect. Perhaps is different outside of the religious community tho

But yes in general sometimes parents decide to homeschool because they're very controlling and borderline emotionally abusive, which thankfully hasn't been my experience (to my knowledge; if you're raised with something in isolation you tend to think it's normal, y'know?) but that's certainly been the experience with some of my siblings' friends IIRC

> I was thinking about that too, because I was thinking about if I had kids would I want to homeschool them

I've been thinking about this too. But frankly based on my experience, i don't think I'd want my kid to be homeschooled in the absence of something like a co-op, so he or she can have social interaction

@HedgeFundWizard Yeah, precisely this. It's a very sad situation tbh

@HedgeFundWizard Fair. It's good to think about such things in case you get one tho, so props to you on getting the jump on that

I just found r/HomeschoolRecovery, perhaps that would be more of what you're looking for

I'd add that IDK what the rate of positive experiences to negative experiences exists among those who are homeschooled, but you might appreciate reading this.
