Every homeschooling family I know are super republican and are “religious”.
Every single child of said families have less than a 6th grade reading level.
One family that got too extreme for my parents to continue being friends with them decided that their daughters book learning was done in fourth grade. After that it was basically home economics without any of the important Financials (because the man handles that, silly, women aren’t smart enough!), just basically training a maid to cook and clean and also find a husband. Only a few of her NINE BROTHERS could read the books I was assigned in 5th grade. None of them could read my personal books, as I had a college reading level by 3rd grade, but I’m a super nerd so…
Well sure enough all the boys of that family grew up to be pieces of shit from the interactions I’ve had with them over the years, and the daughter hasn’t been seen in nearly a decade. Ran away the moment she legally could, and I hope she’s living her best life away from controlling religious freaks.
My in-laws are “homeschooling” their own children, which amounts to letting them do whatever they want Tuesday and Thursday, and sending them to the church van every m/w/f to be taught by Sunday school teachers. Who of course only talk about creationism. and none of the “graduates” have even heard of Charles Darwin. And also believe humans and T-Rex walked around with each other. Whose fossils were also put in the ground as a test…
Long boring Anecdote time!
