Because homeschooling reinforces the societal stereotype that men work outside and that women work in the home. But there's nothing wrong with this social structure and it is still the way a majority of families operate across the world. But there's hostility toward women who do not have careers in western culture. Women who run families and teach at home play an important role that does not get recognized in economic output.
- LtWorf 3y agoWomen (and men) who stay at home and don't study, probably don't have the education needed to be a teacher.

My brother-in-law is the stay-at-home homeschool dad for his two kids, while his wife works. Homeschooling is completely orthogonal to traditional gender roles, it's just historically been highly correlated with very conservative families.
- oytis 3y agoThis arrangement is possible, but I wouldn't call it completely orthogonal. It requires one of the parents to stay at home, or both parents working part-time, but the two most frequent arrangements are working father+stay at home mother (conservative family) or two working parents (modern family), and most of the time when a family has to be homeschooling - like we've seen on scale during the pandemic - it's the mother who sacrifices her career.
