I think there are a lot of valid social, emotional and learning disability reasons to choose homeschool for certain children. And a lot of very capable parents to teach them.
Not wanting your children to learn biology such as evolution, is not amongst those valid reasons.
I begged my parents to let me homeschool back in the day. School seem like the biggest waste of time. Had to endure sitting on the bus for 2 hours, lunch hour and recess and health class and gym class and art class and countless other non-academic activities.
The academic activities themselves were aimed at the lowest common denominator, I was bored out of my tree learning at that pace.
The entire academic content of the school day could have been compressed into less than an hour and I could have spent the rest of the day being productive.
One of our sons took advantage of the opportunity when schools went back in after covid. Spent one extra year doing homeschooling in grade 9. Entirely a self-starter. Had most of his days free to pursue his own interests and help me. Went back into grade 10 far ahead of where he should have been.
