I and my sibling were homeschooled, decades ago, and it was stellar. They have a child now and are planning to homeschool. It is with this success story background and in a personally rose-colored context that I would like to say: This piece's framing introduces conspiratorial thinking (teachers' unions' machinations!) and ideological precommitments into a topic that deserves to be taken seriously and evaluated empirically. There is a lot wrong with a lot of homeschooling as it exists today, and the gaps in our understanding should trouble anyone looking at this issue with the next generation's interest in mind. If you're curious about this topic, I'd recommend https://responsiblehomeschooling.org/ https://responsiblehomeschooling.org/ for the resources it collects and its general stance – informed by a lot of experiences of homeschooled alumni.
