#Homeschooling

What do people do if there is no school? They study at home, of course. They "homeschool". The concept is still, I hope, not entirely a bad one. But #homeschooling as a political buzzword now has an evil meaning because #Christian fanatics and U.S. conservatives pounced upon "homeschooling" as a way to hide their abusive parenting techniques from public view and give them a false air of positive motivation, of genuine concern for quality of education.

Hence I have wished to master autodidactism somehow, "self-teaching". I've been spectacularly bad at this. Kris has felt too much guilt over this topic because, well, there's a bunch of us here who are all TERRIBLE at this stuff.

There's so much left to learn!

Bold black letters that look like they were typed on a wonky, old school typewriter spell out "Crip Camp." Beneath that, there's an illustration of a green school bus. Arms and a crutch stick out of the windows in power gestures. Text over a red background in the top right corner says: "Teach with Film". The Journeys in Film logo is in the bottom left.

I always thought #homeschooling was for the weird and fringe, and couldn’t fathom why people would do it. Why homeschooling was such a popular choice in USA baffled me.

Since then, I have learned about; the decay of school buildings, the mass exodus of teachers, the religiously forced curriculum and most importantly: the constant threat of schoolshootings

No wonder Americans choose homeschooling.
