Re: What's Wrong With Attachment Parenting?

[(Anonymous)]

(And while I'll be the first to say this is somewhat unfounded, I know that in some places, homeschooling has a reputation of being used to cover up abusive home situations - and I think that while people probably know this isn't necessarily some bigger problem compared to kids who go to school and also hide abusive homelives, this stereotype can feed subconsciously into people's attitudes about home education).

It's not so much a "stereotype" as it is something that happens occasionally, and has disastrous consequences when it does. Because while abused children at public schools can still be overlooked, they are at least in contact with mandatory reporters for a significant portion of their day, meaning that if they feel safe to do so, they have an opportunity to tell someone what's happening at home. Abused children who are homeschooled have no such opportunity. There have been cases in which parents have pulled their children out of public school and "decided to homeschool" in response to abuse inquiries. Some of those children ended up dead. That's not all or even most homeschool families, but it's not just some spurious stereotype either.
