[quote=Anonymous]I think you, OP, need to accept that all these different types of homeschoolers exist and are homeschoolers.  It's not "bias" to acknowledge that there are problems.  I live in Vermont where a lot of people homeschool, and I know many adults who were homeschooled.  Some are nice normal people, some are trying to deal with special needs or 2e, some are trying to avoid acknowledging special needs or developmental problems, some are kooks, some just think they're better and smarter, some are trying to protect their children from ideas about gender equality and raise their daughters to have no other option than to SAHM, some are trying to cover up child abuse, some are hippies who are basically just neglecting their kids.  All of those people are "homeschoolers" and it isn't bias to acknowledge it.  People don't have to define "homeschooling" as "people who homeschool the way you do.

Homeschooling kooks and abusers hurt all homeschoolers, most of all their own children.  I'm often dismayed when people place their flexibility and privacy over basic protections to ensure that every child is safe and has a basic education.
