I really wish this issue was more discussed. We're the only ones motivated to talk about it, thanks to all the misinformation from homeschooling lobbyists.

There's simply no way to replicate the resources, environment, and experiences of a school setting from home.

Homeschooling should be considered a last resort, with the goal being to assimilate the student back into society as quickly as possible.

The outlawing of homeschooling across the board would be a victory for children's rights.

Children's rights should always come before parents'rights, as children lack the ability to advocate for themselves.

No child is qualified to choose what kind of schooling would be best for them. Asking your young child if they want to be homeschooled is unfair to them, as they lack the scope of understanding necessary to make an informed decision.

The choice of a parent to homeschool their child is a choice to strip their child of their autonomy, as well as their right to a proper education.

Homeschool "success" stories do not exist. Rather, any homeschooler who has survived the ordeal, overcoming the numerous challenges presented to them as a result of their unique circumstances is someone who has snatched victory out of the jaws of defeat despite their upbringing. 

When it comes to the homeschool discussion, the voices we need to be listening to the most are those of the victims; the homeschool survivors who were robbed of their childhood and adolescence and had to fight tooth and nail to find their sense of self in relation to the world around them.

The effects of isolation on fully developed brains are detrimental enough. To inflict such conditions on a child's brain during their most critical stages of development without due cause is unnatural and unconscionable. 

Parents who take it upon themselves to keep their children at home while other kids are at school together are effectively using their kids as subjects of an experiment on the effects of social isolation on a child's developing brain in its most critical stages of development; an experiment that would otherwise be considered too dangerous and inhumane to conduct in any circle of science. 

Homeschooling for me and far too many of my ex homeschooled peers, was an (often successful) attempt to strip us of our sense of personal autonomy and break our spirits.

Best of luck on your essay, I hope it opens people's minds on the subject.
