Pros: decentralized, individualized, all the cool punk buzzwords.
Cons: drastic educational inequality (rich parents have lots more money to homeschool), bad/abusive parents, lack of accountability, lack of social cohesion.

I'd agree with this. I don't think it's great when a child is only exposed to one other person's perspective, as it can happen in homeschooling. Even if the person is not a fanatic right wing 'christian'. That's what a school is great for, you meet a whole range of people different from you and your immediate family. We could recreate a setting more like a skill library than a school, where kids could visit different specialists and learn from them, largely on their own pace and by their own choice.
