Our page has been shared with several groups unfamiliar with our work, so we’d like to level set and remind visitors of our mission.
CRHE is a homeschool alumni founded and powered organization. We believe children have the right to a comprehensive education and a safe and supportive home environment, no matter where they are educated. Our lived experiences, as well as research, show that there are gaps in homeschool policy and practice that need to be addressed to ensure all children have access to an open future. CRHE advocates to state legislatures for minimal, reasonable oversight that protects the most vulnerable homeschooled children; those recommendations are rooted in our Homeschooling’s Invisible Children database (https://hic.crhe.org/).
We are supportive of public schooling, but our work is in the homeschool space. Pushing back on our advocacy, research and programming with “but what about public school?!” does not support safe, responsible homeschooling. Children’s safety is not an either/or, it’s a both/and. We won’t ignore the realities of abuse and neglect in the homeschooling space simply because there are more children enrolled in a different educational modality.
We value diverse perspectives, but do not tolerate abusive language. We especially do not tolerate speaking over, minimizing, or lashing out at survivors of trauma. We have limited the comments on posts where page visitors are not engaging with factual information, misrepresenting our work, and most importantly, refusing to center homeschool alumni and survivors.
