Homeschooling feels like an act of hubris. The idea that you and your partner know the same or more about education than trainer professionals is crazy. Each teacher has at least a college degree, most have a master’s and they all go through yearly refreshers on how to best teach on top of their on the job experience. How can one (or two) people do more than that? On top of that your child will be exposed in their home life to things you know and think are important to understand. School can show them things you know you don’t know as well as things you don’t know you don’t know. I want my daughter to know things I don’t know and to expand her worldview beyond mine. Homeschooling limits their knowledge that what I know. (Which is usually the point to shelter a child from scary ideas which is not doing them any favors). Can homeschooling be okay? Sometimes but not often enough and most people who do it aren’t prepared or qualified to do it

I think you are underestimating how many of these “professionals” are just reading the material out loud without much comprehension on their part. Homeschooling is an act of hubris if you’re trying to stack up against a real educator. But I’ve had like 5 real educators in my public school career.
