    Was your family very religious?

    Do you feel like you were behind on anything academically or socially?

    Would you home school your own children?

    Do you think you became who you were supposed to be, or do you feel like you didn’t have enough outside influence to pick and choose what you believe in?

    As a foreigner, just for info, homeschooling is not allowed in my place. It is mandatory and it will even be enforced by the law to get the kids to school, no matter what.

    So i read about this on reddit, like from people from the USA, but somehow, i can’t imagine it. I mean, how it even works.

    That you stay or stayed at home all day with some improvised classroom and school material and just learned there? 12th grade, google tells me this is already highschool… how can parents get all the expert knowledge of teachers to teach highschool stuff? I mean, does that work out?

    How does it even work with the family, like, that just dad works and mom is the teacher and stays at home?

    I’m very confused by this, to be honest.

    Do you ever wish you weren’t homeschooled?

    How did your parents make sure that you were learning everything you should know?

    Wow. 12th grade. Where do you feel the biggest gaps were?

    Which religion? I know you didn’t say it was religious, but 8 kids plus homeschool is practically a neon sign advertising some sort of fundamentalism.

    Can you describe what a typical day looked like for you as a homeschooled student?

    How do you feel about a lot of society’s (and reddit’s) hatred for homeschooling? I’ve heard it called negligent, child abuse, harmful, a guarantee your kid will be awkward, etc. What do you think of that?

    Where were your parents from, and where did they homeschool you?

    I was homeschooled k-12 by my parents, we had co-op classes and took classes online back in the day of dialup internet.
