All the OP (to whom I oddly can’t reapond) has is anecdotes, so I’ll offer an opposing one. I was homeschooled. I just finished a (real) STEM PhD. My sister was also homeschooled. She holds a (real) masters degree. Neither of my parents went to college. The idea that homeschooling produces an inferior education rings hollow to my ear.

Growing up, our family was lower middle class. Our lack of financial resources combined with my parents limited formal education makes it difficult for my to understand why homeschooling is infeasible for most. The biggest downside is probably an inferior socialization.
