My children have never been part of the system. We have found other routes to educate them.
That said, do you see that removing children from the system in decades to come will close the door to college for them? The college entrance exams are being rewritten to reflect CC curriculum.
How can we provide an alternate path for them? The gvt will try everything to shut that down.
If they rewrite the SATs to cover Common Core stuff, buy an SAT study guide. The most important skill to teach your homeschooled kid is how to learn. Give him an SAT study course for a year before taking the test and don’t sweat it too much.
Say “common core” requires kids to do math with some really dumb method. Well, the SATs are still going to be multiple choice answer. Whatever machine grades the tests isn’t going to be looking for evidence of how the kid got the answer; they’ll be looking to make sure the kid filled in circle B.
They’ll use twisted stupid texts to test “reading comprehension” and thinking skills. So? A well educated kid should be able to look at the questions and determine what the answer the test makers want is. That’s the real trick. Teach your kids the truth. Then teach them how to give the right answer.

You mean “colleges” like the ones telling students to stomp on Jesus, the ones with “co-ed” dorms, the ones that allow liquor on campus, the ones where gays and other left-favored identity groups are given precedence and free reign?
You’re better off getting your kids apprenticed into a trade or into an engineering school.
And if you want a classical liberal arts college, try Patrick Henry, Regent, Liberty, etc, or any number of on-line colleges that focus on job function over politically correct form.
