Another way to cut the cake:

  - Some want to ensure high quality
  - Others want to reduce bad influence

I fail to see why these motivations are much different whether religious or secular.

Kids will grow up and rebel, embrace, and take for granted parts of you they inherit.

I’m not Christian, but I’m willing to assume that the reason that Christians like to homeschool is because they care deeply about what kind of person their child becomes; homeschooling is a very conscientious move, like being a Christian. Secular homeschoolers are probably highly conscientious with a different set of norms.

As one of the people whom some on this thread seem to be fine with caricaturing and haphazardly speculating about, I can attest this is the one reply that gets it. I appreciate your intelligent and considered take. Cheers.
