Well, the other flipside too is that parents are not infallible either.

Without divulging too many details, a friend of mine was homeschooled, while being raised by a bipolar and nearly psychotic mother. Now I think he would agree that in most regards, he came out of the homeschooling experience just fine, but I do wonder if he might've had at least had more opportunities to get away from the insanity now and then if he was able to turn towards a public school for a few hours a day.

Not that I put much faith in the state or the Feds, and can certainly imagine a wide range of scenarios where even that could've played out worse for him, but even so, I think there's at least a few parents who are just straight up unfit to teach their kids, my own included.

Unfortunately, public schools today are not even remotely fit to teach kids.
