I think homeschooling is an excuse to have your older children babysit the younger children all day long and that they get zero education, and I agree it probably should mostly be illegal. I will make exceptions for kids dealing with severe anxiety or something.
Kids like that would be the most harmed I think. Kids need to learn to get over their anxiety issues. Public schools harm autistic kids by creating spaces where they never have to get outside of their comfort zone. You will fail in the “real world” if you can’t handle overcoming “anxiety.”

What if we sell kids their comfort zones? Oh! Or better yet, rent them.
