ebznflows Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Does anyone know any now-adult homeschooled kids who were not homeschooled in an overbearing religious paradigm? I have been trying to research just how socially weird homeschooled kids are, and a memior by one would be nice to read. However, so far the only ones I have found have been of people upset about their closed off experiences and religious indoctrination. I don't think these experiences are comparable to what I would provide my kids. Theoretically, I am 100% in favor of homeschooling, but I would like some data on outcomes before I commit my children's future happiness to what most perceive as a crazy decision.
tasmlab Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 I think a secular homeschool adult will be a rare species indeed. I'm not sure I would make the decision based on the anecdotes of those you find, although I'm sure it will be insightful to some degree. You don't a society-sized sample of those who weren't homeschooled, secular or not. I've visited this discussion board a few times. You may be able to cast a wider net for your search. There's some decent stuff on there anyways: http://www.secularhomeschool.com/forum.php (Me: secular homeschooling my children, raised as Christian and PS'd)
