Poor people do homeschooling :

Yeck gross bleck! Religious zealots!

Rich people do homeschooling :

Oh how jealous I am Bartholomew, I wish I could have a private tutor like yours to teach my kid all of the great languages, and look the Au Pair is bringing in the lunch!

Well, yeah.

If somebody's rich enough to provide a better education to their child despite the economy of scale advantage public/private schools have, then homeschooling can be advantageous. If somebody can't do that, then they're just abusing their kid.
