#bc i did get into college early (dual enrolling) and that mostly Fixed Me

[secrettreestuffidk]

i was homeschooled.

there's like. standardized tests that you have to pass to legally keep being homeschooled (at least in my state, it definitely varies around the US). so like. you do have to actually learn some shit

but like. I was getting ranked at "college level" for my better subjects by third or fifth grade so they're not exactly rigorous.

otherwise yeah. I got handed a textbook for each subject and given a workbook to fill out each month (my mom did not proofread any of that shit. I got taught civil war revisionism and she did not know until two years later when i mentioned something offhand). I am self-taught in literally every subject. I did my own grading. I was overtly suicidal at age 7 because i didn't have any friends my age and i was literally so lonely that i wanted to jump into traffic lmao

I think your parents also have to report some of your grades. but like. I did my own grading. my mom came up with the assignments and did not check my work unless she was mad at me.

do usamerican homeschool laws not have like, an official curriculum or something? like judging from twitter stuff homeschoolers are either like

group a: super strict educated kids who have abysmal social skills

group b: just straight up mentally neglected by their parents (just not taught anything, no curriculum etc)

and everytime shit happens its always group b and they keep pointing at group a as the excuse why they should continue mentally neglecting their kids
