Q1: What is a “recovering homeschooler” and why do they need a forum?
A1: A recovering homeschooler is someone raised in the fundamentalist Christian homeschooling culture who is struggling with the damage such a childhood can inflict mentally, emotionally, spiritually and even physically. This forum is designed to create a safe environment for one to express these difficulties and ask for help.
Q2: Who can join the forum?
A2: Anyone is welcome to join, however an account will be banned if the member does not adhere to the Rules of Conduct or bullies others in their posts or PMs.
