In my experience, the homeschool community provides a nice space for
meaningfully unreasonable behavior. Especially unschoolers.

Also, consider research restrictions. It takes from several months to
half a year in my county to get all the necessary permissions for an
educational study in public schools, whereas it only takes the
internal IRB approval to work with homescholers.

Families and local communities should not be overlooked as powerful
agents of change.
