This is the bit about homeschooling I'll never get. Yes, a good chunk of a child's education will be done by general educators that a competent parent could probably expect to compare to, but going into middle and high school or it's equivalent, these teachers are focused and experienced in a single subject far more than a parent could ever hope to be. Unless the public school is absolutely trash, it seems like a disservice to their children, tbh.
There's also the element of life experience to consider. One of my history teachers in high school was a former sergeant in the Army and fought in Vietnam, and hearing stories of historical events from the people who lived them is of immeasurable educational value.
Also the most likely way to hear biased opinions told as fact
No different than the parent doing the same thing?
