"particularly Math"

Very few people are competent in mathematics. Engineers are pretty safe, anyone else is iffy.

I majored in Mathematics in my first year of U. Thirty years later my niece asked me for help in introductory Calculus and she made a fool of me.

Don't fool yourself, unless you are an engineer you can't homeschool science and mathematics.

Home schooling will not produce the next generation of scientists and engineers unless the parents are scienctists and engineers.

What about physicists? Or even mathematicians?
