My current Era ✨💗

It's batshit crazy to me there are people who flex their children learned how to spell their name at 10 💀

I have a theory that homeschooled kids are "weird" because they're actually neurodivergent kids who never had to learn to mask to make friends

April 30th is the Day of the Homeschooled Child

In the United States, approximately 2 million children are currently homeschooled. Unfortunately, homeschooled children are not safe.

Twelve states don't require home educators to tell anyone that they're homeschooling.

Nineteen states don't require home educators to teach any specific school subjects.

Forty-eight states allow convicted child abusers and sex offenders to homeschool children.

All fifty states allow a child to be withdrawn from school to be homeschooled during and after a child welfare investigation.

In addition, homeschooled children with disabilities do not have the same legally protected access to accommodations and support that disabled children in public school do.

The Homeschooling's Invisible Children database maintained by the Coalition For Responsible Home Education contains over 500 cases of extreme child abuse and neglect in homeschool settings, and over 200 fatalities - that's almost half of all known cases. All of these cases are from publicly available records like media reports and court records. There are no doubt countless others outside of public view.

Day of the Homeschooled Child is an observance held every April 30 to raise awareness of child abuse and neglect in homeschool settings and to call for change to make homeschool safe. It falls on the last day of National Child Abuse Prevention Month in April.
