Yeah, I'm not trying to write a book in these comments, but much of your misunderstanding can be boiled down to the fact that you seem to forget you live in a society.

Homeschooling tends to work well in homes where one parent can stay home, when that parent is well-educated. It does not work well when both parents must be employed to pay the bills, and/or have poor educations. Homeschooling as a solution therefore entrenches power at one end, and squalor at the other: rich kids have a great experience, poor kids suffer.

If it works for you, great. I'm not saying homeschool is bad, just that it won't work for everyone. Now we get back to my point about living in a society. The children getting a poor education now -- be it at home, or at a public school -- will soon be voters, neighbors, citizens. Refusing to invest in an education system that serves all means you're going to have a bunch of dumb, shitty neighbors that will make your life miserable.

There are plenty of valid criticisms of public ed, but divesting from it is not a good solution for a society. We should try to figure out how to FIX the problems.
