Most doctors don't want parents in the room unless the doctors need their input. Especially if the kid is old enough to discuss complaint himself. It does not surprise me that the type of parent that homeschools would insist on being in an examining room with their child (probably all the way to age 18).

It doesn't surprise me either. But I suspect we approach that statement from different perspectives.

Actually I think that decision is best made by the parent and not the doctor... I would hope that my daughters would WANT us to be there to SUPPORT them in such serious matters..
