I think a lot of folks underestimate how much effort is required to home school and honestly people aren’t up for the task.

Idk if it was here, or on the old sub, or some other other reddit place but some dude posted a really long post about being depressed in his youth and it opened with him talking about how his mom had decided to home school him, but kinda gave up on it less than a year in and he sorta was just allowed to bum around the house directionlessly for a few years and basically never left his house or had friends his age. This was oddly reflective of my experience, my mom was super confident she could give me a better schooling than the guberment did and pulled me out but then sort of... planted herself on the couch. She soon realized it wasn't doing me any favors and enrolled me in a "homeschool group", which was really just a regular school but it was run out of a church and everyone was a fundie christian. Then I went back to public High School and it was fine.

I can't really say if public school would have been worse, but I do feel I missed out on a lot of socialization I could have had in my teens and I think lead me to be a bit maladjusted in my early 20s.
