I remember one younger kid in the neighborhood I grew up in being homeschooled in the mid-eighties but she was the only one. I think a lot of parents were under the false assumption that the children wouldn't be properly socialized. I can't imagine one downside to homeschooling in this day and age.

The only challenge would be if both parents had to work. I wonder if it's legal for parents to take "shifts" and co-teach with 2 or 3 other families? I could envision a sort of homeschooling co-op. I'm sure someone else has thought about that.

More parents should be concerned with violence in schools. It was bad when I was in high school but is way worse now in some districts.
