Ive always found the idea of homeschooling utterly bizzare
This is a normal thought process.
I knew some kids who were homeschooled.
They were smarter than most of the kids in my public school class.
Not saying that's the case everywhere, but the modern public school system is mostly made for indoctrination and funneling taxpayer money to publishers.
The distribution of home schoolers is super bi-modal, either: "we don't want them learning that sinful science and actual history" or "we don't think public education will do a good job for our kids, so we're doing it ourselves"
Actually, it's tri-modal: "I don't want my kid associating with those people." Black people, gay people, non-religious people..
Thats still the first one
And the former group is 1000 to one of the latter group.
Why? That's how it was done for millennia, unless your parents were rich enough to send you to an actual school instead of learning a trade.
"That's the way we've always done it!" is never a good reason on it's own.
