More Parents Choosing Homeschool Freedom For Their Child
An increasing number of parents today are choosing homeschooling for their children. This is becoming a popular education option for families that isn't specific to any religion or political preference. People simply want more freedom for their family, for their children, and there are a myriad of benefits that homeschooling offers for the individual.
The homeschooling community is filled with veterans, retired teachers, speech therapists, and others. And while homeschooling is still heavily restricted in a number of regions, there are certain areas that you can find more homeschooling freedom with than others.
Whenever a negative incident occurs within the homeschooling community though, the entire group is looked at in fear.
People start murmuring again about cracking down on homeschooling freedom.
In the recent case where one boy was allegedly abused who had been home schooled, these stories are used as fuel for anti-homeschooling rhetoric.
But forcefully telling a family what education options are open to them and subjecting their child to potential bullying and child abuse at a school they don't want to go to, hardly seems like a coherent solution.
Just as well, what one family does shouldn't reflect on the community as a whole, which includes thousands of people and many positive experiences.
No doubt, alcohol is a factor in a great deal of child abuse cases around the country, but we never hear authorities suggest cracking down on that market. They say the motivation for cracking down on homeschooling is a concern for child abuse, but it reads more like one for control over the lives of others.
Punishing and limiting the freedom of people who had nothing to do with the incident is poor judgement in that it harms people and lowers their standard of living when they didn't nothing to deserve it. No group or individual should have the right to tell a family or an individual how they can educate themselves. We should at the very least be able to retain that simple freedom.

Homeschooling for the win! Better content, personalized learning and adaptive learning, rather than conformative.
It’s like anything that goes against mainstream teaching and desire; can’t let it catch on and become more popular so they try to marginalize wherever and whenever possible. Division agenda.
I remember confusing people previously when they keep bringing up all the bad press about homeschooling, that there is so much bullying and bad results coming out of schools (some kids are barely literate but they've "been to school", never mind bullying and bad home lives) but that's "just life", but the tiniest bad thing happens with homeschooling and there's a whole pile of bawwing about how terrible it all is and there oughtta be a law.
I haven't had one of those types of conversation for a while which I'm glad about because they were stupid.
Often when abuse comes from a so called "homeschooling family" they aren't actually homeschooling, but claiming to be in order to keep the child from school to avoid detection. So to even associate this with homeschoolers is completely off the mark.
exactly!
I homeschooled my kids for a while. My son did well and did 2 full years of homeschool while in FL, but my daughter didn’t like it. She is my social butterfly. My son finished in public school but basically did it all at home due to disabilities. My daughter loves going but also sees the bad side of the education system for herself and knows how to think outside the box, so I am not worried about her so much, lol. Even if your kids do go to a public school, the real education happens at home. Unfortunately in today’s society, there is no good life education going on in most households anymore. Basically there are too many selfish parents that want someone else to raise their kids.
Absolutely right
