> That's interesting to hear, as someone living in a different country I always assume that the reason to homeschool is so you could give your children better education.
The attitude I was raised with is that parents will always have to provide supplemental education but the socialization school provides is much more difficult to replace.

Seems like a rather puerile form of bullying, no? With adults it looks much different. Mockery in front of peers, openly manipulative behavior, talking shit behind peoples' backs, etc etc

> people should have the ability to do what they want with properties they own

This often is implied, actually. Better safe than sorry.
