"Sad to say, most parents would never homeschool their kids."

That's because they've never been exposed to an example of successful (academically & socially) homeschooling. If more parents try it out and more current homeschoolers befriend neighbors who don't homeschool, more parents may be open to the idea.

Have you heard of the phrase, "Rome wasn't built in a day"?

Just marking my spot here as I am interested in this subject.

Honestly, you don't think homeschooled children miss out on the socialization with other kids? Athletics and friendships are important, I'm not sure how this can be compensated for when homeschooling young children.

Oh, yes! I have heard that many times. I have never found much comfort in the saying ,but I do not disagree with you. Eventually parents will realize that ultimately they are the only ones who care if their kids become well educated.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Actually, I believe that people are smart. If they see a good idea they will accept it. And,,,homeschooling is a good idea.

Please note my tag line. I expect resourceful and determined parents to abandon government schools in droves.
