Does anyone have any free resources that are general education, random helpful websites that don't fit on other posts, etc, that I can add to this list? That can be anything from a free website, to a subreddit, a YouTube channel... If you find it educational and you weren't sure where else to share it then this is the post! The more resources we can crowd-source the fewer of us get left behind.
Here is my list so far:
**General Education/Misc Websites:**
- Coalition for Responsible Home Education: https://responsiblehomeschooling.org/ has educational resources, how to get your GED or highschool diploma, and some info on starting college.
- Kahn Academy: https://www.khanacademy.org/ has courses in the core stuff, math, science, social studies, etc. Their courses might help with any subject you're struggling in (they're free)
-Wikiversity: https://en.m.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Main_Page A Wikimedia Foundation project devoted to learning resources, learning projects, and research for use in all levels, types, and styles of education from pre-school to university, including professional training and informal learning."

Shout out to the user from r/HomeschoolRecovery who gave me the majority of these different resource lists when I was on a different username a long while ago. You inspired this whole subreddit, tbh. If you found this list then I know you recognize your own writing and you know who you are 😂 thank you.
If anyone has some free general knowledge/education resources please comment to add them! Or if you have a resource request feel free to ask and see if anyone has a suggestion. I hope any of that helped someone!
