Homeschooling applies to a very small and very affluent segment of the population.
That is just not so. We struggle on one income, doing without a lot of the "necessities" that many families consider priorities so that I can stay at home and homeschool my kids. Is it hard? Yes. But the educational needs of our children are more important than a fancy house or a new car every year or keeping up with the Joneses. And I am not saying that others children aren't important. For us, homeschooling is the necessity because of the learning disabilities of our oldest son.
Even though I said it poorly - my point is not against homeschooling - more power to you. Only bringing up a point that it is not something the vast majority can undertake.
