Ive met quite a few normal homeschooled kids, and quite a few more absolutely screwed up public school kids. Its almost like good parenting and care matters more than the exact plan of education.
Yeah except the lack of standardized regulation and testing from state to state and the lack of contact with mandatory reporters does matter exactly because of bad parents. Screwed up kids in public school still are observed by and interact with adults outside their home on a regular basis and they are still held (ish) to educational standards to make sure they can actually read and do basic math and know actual (ish) history by the time they reach adulthood. Homeschooled kids with bad parents do not have those guardrails and the amount of abuse and educational neglect is staggering in most home school circles. It's one of those situations where I'm sorry it's not fair to those doing it right and for the right reasons m, but the consequences for children of parents who do it wrong or for the wrong reasons are so severe, it must be more tightly regulated and in my view shouldn't even be legal outside of closely monitored edge cases for those with extenuating circumstances. And "i dont want my kid to learn the devil's science or sit next to queers" shouldn't be an extenuating circumstance.
