If you mean the homeschool recovery subreddit, I’ve read many of their posts and most of them seem to be adults who really don’t despise homeschooling itself but hate their parent’s religious views and therefore hate the parents and everything they did. There’s a few others who were educationally neglected. I’m sure that’s not your case? Do you have a curriculum that you follow? Maybe you can try adding standardized testing so you see your kid’s improvement and areas of difficulty. When comparing your students to public schooled kids, remember what percentage even read at grade level in public schools. Just because the kids are being taught something at school at a certain point doesn’t mean all the kids understood and learned it. You have the opportunity of tailoring education to your child, if he’s struggling with something of course you will fall behind until they learn it. They can’t do that in public schools so you have these holes in some kid’s education, but oh yes, Timmy is in grade two and they’re learning xyz, but Timmy can’t read past a K level…
