So every homeschooled child is automatically ill-educated? Or maybe, a child with parents that actually care about their child and her interests is rather lucky?

I'll just say, even though public school history education may have its problems, at least generally its not taught by someone who considers studying history to be a waste of time.

I was a homeschooled kid whose father taught him programming. I still managed to learn the value of history.

If one is home-schooled by parents who give the child a well-rounded education, why not. In this case, one parent is explicitly considering history to be a useless topic.

No ancestor of your comment said anything about homeschooling.

No, they implied that she was going to get a horrible education doing it at home and online, which I would consider to be homeschooling.

Yes, they implied (or outright stated that) she was going to get a horrible education, but they did NOT imply that it was due to being homeschooled, nor did they imply that every homeschooled person would get a horrible education.
