Generally, I think it’s hubris for someone to think they can educate their kids better than a professional that’s trained for half-a-decade or more. And the most-common fear, that schools are “indoctrinating” kids, is easily countered: just be fucking involved in their lives. That being said, the real world is always more compicated than theory. Parents should have a right to choose this path, coupled with a responsibility to adhere to the same educational standards as professionals.

Parents should have a right to choose this path Considering your first paragraph, why do you think parents’ “rights” should override those of their children?

No, that’s the “responsibility” part.

Responsibility should bear consequences as well, no one should be having the “freedom” to choose to ruin their child’s life by turning it into an uneducated detached from society adult. It’s not very much unlike a cult deciding that they have the right to keep a child away from society and raise it however they see fit, and I imagine that’s illegal in most places if not everywhere.
