Re home schooling...if the parents aren't doing what must be done, how can one be sure that they'll actually do well with home schooling? And not everyone, whether they will acknowledge it or not,is not fit to teach any level of school; even with prepared stuff from books or on line programs!
I DID say that private schools work better, with the caveat of having to check them out carefully.
Long, long, looooooooooooooooooong ago, I toyed with home schooling long before it was a "thing", but got talked out of it. Yes, we sent the progeny to privates schools from Pre-K through college. Did THAT stop me from "teaching"/brainwashing at home and correcting some stuff that was said/unsaid at school? HELL NO!
By the time college came along, the progeny was SO inculcated with facts, how to think, etc., that at 18 I was getting calls complaining about idiot kids, rotten lefty profs,etc., who the progeny saw through immediately and disgusted.
We're all now working on the Grand, who yes, goes to a private school ( there's a bit COMMIE CORE stuff, but called something else ) that is pretty much a Conservative one.
Even so, it's a never ending process and one which many Conservative parents are sadly NOT doing/not doing well enough.
OTOH...there are some kids who you can't "train",no matter how hard you try.
“disgusted by”...sorry the “by” somehow got erased in the original post.
