20 years locked in room

Two prior threads on the subject including some anecdotes within the last 3 years (so I know about them) including the potential for educational abuse though no real mention IIRC of the sort of abuse in this thread

Lots of cites about how there are various “schools” on homeschooling, some impressive, some political, some apocalyptic. And how politics can further damage any guardrails ensuring a full education. Should give you an overview.

Back to this topic though, yeah, homeschooling does give you a big advantage in concealing abuse of family members - the news is full of reports from where a teacher, counselor, or even friends see things and report them. Not that (as in this case) the reports are anywhere near as successful as I’d like, but… Isolation is almost always a factor (I want to say always, but I try to avoid absolute) in long-term abuse.
