I think the assertion that homeschooling wasn’t necessary in the 1950s due to the public school system is off base; while the public schools were better then than today, the fact is that there were a lot more PRIVATE education opportunities than today.

When my father was in elementary school it was required for Catholic parents to send their children to Catholic schools; imagine the size of a Catholic education system that could mandate that. Today it is a shell of its former self, and the state of education today reflects that.
