That sounds awful. I'm so sorry that is your only option. I am in the UK and although schools are strapped for cash, it's nothing like that here. Probably in part because we have a national curriculum and a strict government program of checking and rating schools, both of which are controversial in their own ways but also prevent the kind of situation you are talking about. We also have teacher's unions.

I don't think home education is inherently bad, just that the way my parents did it was the wrong choice for me. I wrote this article because, outside of situations where people are living pretty extreme lives, or in cults, I never really see critical discussion of home education and I think a lot of people skip into it without thinking too hard and it is a full time job.

It can definitely be done well, my sister does it well in fact 😊

I really hope things improve in your schools, it sounds incredibly frustrating.
