I watched "Shiny Happy People," the docuseries on the Duggar family, and I did not expect it to hit so close to home. I experienced so much of the way they were brought up, just dialed down a bit. I was #homeschooled until 4th grade, my father a preacher, I went to a conservative Christian school in Arkansas. The concept of "authority" was huge. Our behavior, as well as our thoughts, were moralized by threat of Hell.

waking up with a fresh cuppa fluoride mouth wash, refreshing! the trick is to take it with borax so it destroys the flouride afterwards! #homeschooled #holisticadvocate #homesteadlife

My grandchildren are #Unschooled #HomeSchooled in order to escape the toxic religiosity, racism & corporate greed that is systemic in #Missouri

#Capitalists like kids to be well indoctrinated, prepared to plug into the hub in the machine that will produce the most wealth for the wealthy.

#Humankind would like kids to grow up with a wide array of experiences, learning opportunities, and #cooperative skills so we can work #together instead of merely serving as fuel for the fires of #greed

My #HSchat intro: My name is Alessa and you'll find my personal Masto account @alessa_ed. I'm in the US and #homeschooled my kids from K into college, mostly as a single parent. I still volunteer my time with my state's #SecularHomeschool advocacy organization. I also do compliance reviews for VA families. My biggest challenge was being outstripped by my kids' academic needs with advanced science and trying to find affordable, quality resources that would meet their needs.

@amiserabilist Read him; loved his work. Very oddly it was Jack Lew, my high school classmate who urged me to read "Deschooling Society" in around 1973. The same Jack Lew who was Treasury Secretary later. Jack hung up the phone on me last year when I called him to request a place for a buddy on Biden's COVID task force. The stories I can tell my #homeschooled (now adult) daughters!!! #KeepTheFaithBaby #AdamClaytonPowell #Aging

Time for an introduction

So, I'm Jon.

I'm new to Mastodon, I actually never had a twitter account.
I'm a german-norwegian dad with three kids, after a long time of #vanlife we are now living on a farm a bit north of #Oslo, but maybe want to get closer to the city.
The kids are #homeschooled
I'm a #theatre pedagogue, but think about taking up #acting again. My main focus is on how theatre can be used as a means to work on #conflicts and #theatreoftheoppressed by #augustoboal.

Gosh I'm glad I'm #homeschooled
