I used to believe homeschooling was acceptable, but now I think it should be illegal without exceptions. I believe faith-based homeschoolers should have regular visits from CPS, as the lack of oversight raises concerns for child welfare. I've come to realize that most adults lack the qualifications to effectively homeschool, contributing to declining literacy and setting their children up for failure. Reflecting on my experiences, I've seen many Christian homeschooled kids struggle, with some going no contact with their families or facing serious abuse.

I used to think homeschooling was fine. I now think it should be illegal with zero exceptions, and that faith-based homeschoolers need weekly visits from CPS. Isolating your kids from the daily oversight of mandated reporters should be a red flag in the child welfare system.

On what issue have you changed your mind 180 degrees?

Also, as an adult, I understand now that most adults are not at all pedagogically qualified to homeschool their children, and with functional literacy rates as bad as they are, you're both contributing to the decline of American intelligence and setting your kids up for failure.

I also knew a lot of Christian homeschooled kids growing up (their parents sent them to my community theater for socialization) and about half of them have either gone no contact with their families or turned out to have been groomed and sexually abused within those families.
