Oh god yes. I was homeschooled and it was horrible. I learned things but then they couldn't be bothered to help me get out of the house / go to a real school once I surpassed what they had to teach me, and I didn't know any nonfamily adults I could ask for help to leave.

I'm very sorry to hear you had to live with that. It's especially heartbreaking for the kids who want to learn. At least, though, that gives you a leg up as you search for knowledge on your own. So many kids just fall through the cracks and don't even know how undereducated they are, so how would they know to try to go out of their way to learn more?
