Pardon my saying, but you seem to have a bias against homeschooling. ...

No, I do not. I have a bias against parents failing to get their kids the
*credentials* they will need to succeed in a lifestyle of their own
choosing, not necessarily that of their parents. Some parents homeschool in
order to give their kids a better education than they can find in public
schools. That's great. OTOH, some "homeschool" because they are too lazy
and/or selfish to send their kids to school. Some of these would rather go
sailing. Either way, there will come times when the kids will need to
present credentials - diplomas, degrees, grade transcripts, et cetera - in
order to get into a college and/or find a job. My point is that it is a
parent's obligation to make sure his/her children have those credentials.
