I'm not sure what you're encountering, but I have yet to meet anyone that teaches that Jesus rode a dinosaur and owned Exxon stock, or anything remotely resembling it.

One family comes to mind, where I have to question both their ability and motivation behind homeschooling, but that's out 100+ homeschool families we know. Even so, they're the parents, so it's their call.

That said, the success is largely based on the parents' motivation. If they're out to provide a better customized, faith-based, talent-specific, or special-needs accommodating learning environment, that's radically different than doing it to brag about what a great parent a person is, due to the extra hardship.

Beyond that, not everyone is qualified to do it, as it takes a certain skillset, education level, preparedness, and patience level that isn't ubiquitious. Some of that can be accomdated through homeschool enrichment classes, co-ops, and the aforementioned online learning.
