Jenelle Evans is defending her decision to yank her kids out of their new school in Florida to homeschool them.

The fired ‘Teen Mom’ star announced on The Interwebs this week that her son Kaiser and daughter Ensley are now getting their “learn on” at Casa de Jenelle. Jenelle received a lot of backlash— including from her friend-turned-nemesis Gabbie Egan— for her decision to once again change her kids’ school situation. This prompted Jenelle to return to social media again and explain that her ‘Teen Mom’ fame has made the kids too recognizable to attend regular school.

Or something…

“One more note I want to add about homeschooling… my kids were born on TV and even though we haven’t filmed in years people still recognize all of us in public, this includes all schools they attend,” Jenelle wrote on Thursday. “Once an article gets posted then my kids are questioned by adults about adult situations at home that aren’t even true.

“By choosing the homeschool/online method I can now protect my kids and they won’t have to worry about being judged or bullied. I think a college degree is good enough for me to help them on the side,” Jenelle added.

(Just to note, Jenelle does not have a college degree. In 2015, she obtained a certificate in medical assisting from a vocational college. It is unknown if she’s referring to having someone who does have a college degree help out the kids with their schooling.) 

Fans were quick to point the finger at Jenelle’s habit for posting her business on social media to explain why Kaiser and Ensley may be getting bullied at school.

“You put them out there with all the drama you post,” one person commented. “It’s not from them being on TV, it’s the drama you are always in.”

“You did that to them!” another person wrote. “I said what I said! They get bullied because of YOU…”

On Wednesday, Jenelle posted a video in which she explained some of her reasons for pulling her kids out of regular school. In that video she didn’t mention the fact that the kids were getting “recognized” as a contributing factor for her decision. Instead, she stated that driving her kids to and from school was taking too much time out of her day, and that she is too injured to do the transporting. 

(As you know, Jenelle’s ex-husband David Eason had been shacking up at her Florida abode up until their split last week. It’s likely that David had been carting the kids the 40 minutes to and from school. Now that he’s gone, Jenelle doesn’t have his chauffeuring services to help her out.)

“I decided to homeschool my kids. I know some of you are thinkin’, ‘She’s too dumb to homeschool her kids. She doesn’t know what she’s doin’.’ Listen, I’m not the teacher in this. I just put ’em on the computer!”

“So, there are many different reasons why the kids are being homeschooled,” Jenelle said, adding that she didn’t want Kaiser being bullied.

Jenelle listed her inability to drive the kids to school as being a major reason she yanked them out and put them in a homeschool program.

“I was diagnosed with CRPS so I literally cannot drive them to and from school because I am in too much pain!” Jenelle said. 

She added that she was spending too much time driving the kids back and forth to school.

“I literally was taking two hours, three hours, out of my day in the morning and in the afternoons just to do dropoffs and pickups,” she explained. 

(Jenelle did not say why she chose to enroll the kids in a school that’s over 40 minutes from her house.) 

Jenelle added that— in addition to her now being mobility-challenged— she chose homeschool because she doesn’t want her kids learning things she didn’t want them to know.

“I know what they’re bein’ taught as a parent,” she said. “And I don’t have to worry about any craziness being instilled inside their head.”

Jenelle stated that the kids being homeschooled works out for her busy schedule as well.

“If I do have to do any traveling, they can go with me!” she said.

One person who seemed to disagree with Jenelle’s decision to “homeschool” her kids is Gabbie Egan. As you know, Gabbie and Jenelle have been battling on The Interwebs for the last year or so. On Thursday, Gabbie took to social media to declare that she doesn’t think anyone should homeschool their children unless they have a Bachelor’s degree.

“What makes you think you can educate your children and give them all the tools to succeed with barely a high school diploma?” she said. “Because you bought a little homeschool kit online? Are you out of your mind?”
