I will say homeschooling can be a good teaching style.... With oversight. I am slightly biased because I was home schooled through the 7th grade. My mom wasn't a religion nut, I was homeschooled because the regular public school didn't have the to services for my IEP. So I went to a Charter home school program that had what I needed. To be honest I think I turned out far better than I would have at any regular school.
But yours is the exception not the rule. Most home schoolers are corn pone conservatives who want their kids to embrace the same ignorance, mistrust, and hate that they embrace.
Right that's why I specified a difference. With oversight. Such a thing would be good because one on one student and teacher, and proof of what was learned is given to a teacher every month or so.
I haven't met many in my homeschool group. Maybe those ones don't join the groups?
With oversight and with parents actually trying to educate. I live in a very liberal, very educated area and have met quite a few homeschoolers. They have the best intentions and none were overly religious. However, I thought only one homeschooling family was actually benefitting their kids, and I’d describe it similarly to you. Actually, they happened to be the most religious of those I met but were committed to doing the best for their kids.
I do think many home schoolers from both ends of the spectrum are a problem
