There you go again trying to limit man's knowledge. That was one of the justifications for jailing Galileo and running the Inquisition for 400+ years.
Actually, homeschooled children are more knowledgeable, in all sujects, than their peer group in the public schools. Not bad for parents that have no formal training as "teachers".
Not only are homeschooled children more knowledgeable, but they are, on average, 2 to 3 grade levels ahead of their peers and score much higher on standarized tests (20 to 30 points).
Homeschool children are taught to be leaders in society and are statistically 18 times as active in politices upon high school graduation than their peers.
Shall I go on.... ?
P.S.: I have data to back this up...

The "data" you have is most likely less than impressive to anyone who actually understands statistics. But even if it is as you say it is because of the difference in input to the educational process.
Are you shocked that children with two concerned parents deeply involved in their lives turn out better prepared for life than those with a crack ho for a mom and no dad in sight?
Try comparing them to MY children.
