> There are a number of very legitimate cases where home schooling can help kids who are having a rough time at school.
In almost all cases where kids end up homeschooled due to having a "rough time", it's because of bullying and teachers and parents not putting a stop to that crap, the rest is stuff like autistic or disabled children who don't get the resources and assistance they need.
I'd rather like to improve the conditions at school, so that all children, no matter their background and (dis)abilities, are well taken care of, and abusive behavior (outside of self-defense, obviously, which is the big problem with modern "zero tolerance" crap) is not tolerated. That is how equitable societies get created.
Well, that's certainly an ideal. In practice of course it's difficult to prevent certain kids from falling outside the system. Kids and circumstances are pretty variable.

For reasons, in my own ideal world, the biggest experts on a particular child (their parents) would be more involved in their education to begin with. Long story I won't get into here.
But in that particular scenario, one would frankly still need (some) schools. This is for the same reason as before: some kids would end up falling outside that system too.
