It is also a good number of people fear the indoctrination that takes place in public schools, hating the 'generally progressive ideas' in education. So they create their own home schools, bereft of standards and slanted towards whatever political flavor has captured the parents that moment. I've encountered and worked in 2 such home schooled, Fundamentalist raised tech developers.

The gutting of education has negative tendrils we'll be dealing with for generations.
