It's time for the June #HomeschoolChat!

It took a long time to accept all parts of myself #homeschoolchat

A1: I believe that homeschooling both enhanced and limited my ability to be myself. The parts of myself that aligned with my cultural background (white evangelicalism) flourished under homeschooling. The other parts had to be repressed for fear of punishment.

Parental rights is a movement with deep roots. It's spreading nationwide. A no-guardrails version has become a cornerstone of Donald Trump’s authoritarian agenda.

“[A]s it expands its power, the parental rights movement is resisting efforts to impose minimal constraints in order to protect children from harm. Take, for example, this year’s battle over homeschooling regulation in Illinois.”

As a 100% homeschooled person, I spend plenty of time thinking about the implications and systems dynamics of homeschooling. This space looks healthy and important

#HomeschoolChat

This was the first #HomeschoolChat we've done in over two years. And the first ever on Bluesky, a space where we're just starting to find our footing.

The participation today was off the charts. I'm thrilled that we're able to connect with our community again this way. Thank y'all so much.

Grateful to have @responsiblehs.bsky.social bringing #HomeschoolChat to BlueSky. Some final reflections:
Mental health is connected to so many different aspects of life, and formative years spent being isolated, neglected, indoctrinated, and abused have long-lasting consequences. It matters. A lot.

Thank you for being here, Beau!

Yay! Thanks for hosting @responsiblehs.bsky.social
