Because I can be, and I can offer my input. I had 2 homeschool experiences, as well as my experiences in public school before homeschooling.

The first was horrific with my bio parents and wasn't actually schooling. It was everything bad and so much more. I get the isolation, the issues, the control and what can happen when people don't know you exist.

The second saved my life when the bureaucracy of public schools condemned me to being less than human. I know just how fucked up public schools are and how they are a bunch of ignorant shill who really only work for the students who work for them. What the "experts" declared me to be was nothing. What my adoptive parents did because I could homeschool was nothing short of a miracle.

I've dedicated my life to serving students who enter college, especially those who are labeled at risk or non-traditional. The fact is that a vast majority of the way that formers homeschoolers feel are the same as others.

I get my voice until the mods say otherwise. So fuck off.
