Today is #DayoftheHomeschooledChild. I was homeschooled 6-10th grade, which was one of the most isolating, horrible periods of my life. I started having S/I during that time and tried to write curriculum and teach myself. In 11th grade, I was thrown into college full-time.
wearing green in support of the day of the homeschooled child!!
Today I’m wearing green for #DayOfTheHomeschooledChild. As a homeschool alum, I know the importance of advocating for responsible homeschooling. Homeschooled kids are a group that are often overlooked and we need to make sure they are advocated for.

Wearing green for #dayofthehomeschoolchild and the efforts for responsible and accountable home education. Let's be a society that cares enough about kids to recognize systems of abuse and isolation.
Today is the @ResponsibleHS #DayOfTheHomeschooledChild. As someone who was homeschooled K-12, I want to address a rotten plank in the homeschooling platform: parental rights.
Today on the pod, we really dig into my experience being homeschooled and groups like @ResponsibleHS who are working to protect children and create safe home education environments.

I’m still working through a lot of issues around my homeschooling/unschooling so maybe next year I’ll be ready to share but until then please don’t say “Wow I would never have guessed you seem so normal” or anything like that to anyone homeschooled.
@eve_ettinger @ResponsibleHS I didn't go to college because it was too hard to figure out how alone. Lifelong legacy of homeschool for me is struggle to figure out the gaps between where I am and where I need to be, to make myself legible to people, institutions, work
@eve_ettinger @ResponsibleHS Signed. You deserved better. All children deserve better 💖
Today is #DayoftheHomeschooledChild. I was homeschooled 6-10th grade, which was one of the most isolating, horrible periods of my life. I started having S/I during that time and tried to write curriculum and teach myself. In 11th grade, I was thrown into college full-time.
@eve_ettinger @ResponsibleHS I'm late but - I was a nerd kid and loved reading and learning but my parents were fearful, controlling, filed for religious exemption in VA, actively taught me very little except diagramming bible verses (thanks Gothard).
She is 5’6 and dropped from 99lbs to 87lbs in a day. Her parents will not let her see a doctor. She is being abused. The regulatory environment around homeschooling protects her parents, but not her. #DayoftheHomeschooledChild
Making #DayOfTheHomeschooledChild sound good!! 🙌 (Which it is.)
The goal of #DayOfTheHomeschooledChild is gov oversight, period. Their policy recommendations include annual assessments by mandated reporters, state 💉 standards applied to homeschoolers (so in some states, no exemptions) & mandated intervention for inadequate academic progress.
These #DayoftheHomeschooledchild stories are so sad they will make you mad. An entire group of vulnerable children, usually in strict religious upbringing, who are often completely ignored by the state because, you know, “parents rights” stuff.
@eve_ettinger @ResponsibleHS Today I learned that this worthy cause has its own day & there’s a petition to sign! I’ve heard both success and horror stories of homeschooling, and believe all children should have access to a good and fair education to prepare them to succeed in adulthood. 🖖🏼
@eve_ettinger @ResponsibleHS Thank you for bringing awareness ❤️
@eve_ettinger @ResponsibleHS I had a really good experience being homeschooled, but I also understand that's not always the case and absolutely believe children should be respected and it is ensured they are not harmed by homeschooling.
wearing green in support of the day of the homeschooled child!!
April 30th is the Day of the Homeschooled Child. So we switch things up, and Ross Greene interviews me. We talked about the pros and cons of homeschooling and the struggles I had by not receiving an education. Spotify: tinyurl.com/bdzj8uux Apple: tinyurl.com/744xfkyv
Today I’m wearing green for #DayOfTheHomeschooledChild. As a homeschool alum, I know the importance of advocating for responsible homeschooling. Homeschooled kids are a group that are often overlooked and we need to make sure they are advocated for.
Many of the ~2 million children homeschooled in the U.S. have positive experiences. But that’s not the case for everyone. Too many children grow up in families that exploit lax homeschool laws to isolate, neglect, and abuse them.
@eve_ettinger @ResponsibleHS I’m so sorry you had to go through that. It’s true that often states don’t have oversight over what is going on in the home if there’s no outward signs of abuse that are easy to recognize. Some children do get hidden away under the guise of “homeschooling“
@marshallahess @eve_ettinger @MBurtwrites @ResponsibleHS Cool, do you support regulation that would prevent abuse and neglect of homeschooled children?
@eve_ettinger @ResponsibleHS I was homeschooled k-12, we were given only a base-level understanding of the alphabet and math, then left on our own. I couldn't read until I was 10 or 11 and the one time CPS was called, nothing happened bc my father was a cop. I am so glad there are groups like CRHE now.
@eve_ettinger @ResponsibleHS I am eternally grateful that my parents allowed me to take electives at the local public school for things like band and CAD. I'm socially maladjusted enough as is. I shudder to think of how much worse it might be if I'd never gotten that modicum of socialization.
@eve_ettinger @ResponsibleHS These were administered by some local dude who handled all the grading, relieving mom of even that. Eventually, I stopped doing the work and played computer games instead. Parents gave up and I got a GED with flying colors.
