  • I’m not sure what you’re trying to say, exactly. People homeschool for a variety of reasons; sometimes that is to have more control over the learning schedule or to have more control over the level of stimulation a child receives. Most of these seem like responses to an emergent circumstance rather than a wholesale rejection of a system of learning.

    That seems like an unnecessary distinction though, since I already specified that this is about controlling what children can learn, not how or when.

    My parents didn’t homeschool me to accommodate a strange schedule or to ease any kind of social anxiety I had. They homeschooled me to prevent me from encountering anything that would challenge the idea that the God literally made the earth in 7 days six thousand years ago and that the Bible was the literal and perfect word of God.

    Seems like a different conversation entirely.
