If I ever end up homeschooling a kid I may eventually have it’ll be to

use pedagogical approaches other than those typical in institutional schools

That’s from your source. If there is one thing I really hate about my public school education, is not learning rhetoric the way it was classically taught or at all! Sure, I had English and Lit classes, but the importance of those classes when I was younger never really made sense to me until I was in high school and jaded af.

From the Axios article though, avoiding the school-to-prison pipeline for minorities is also a really good reason.

I think this paragraph sums up the issues with home schooling (from Brookings):

…home schooling is also criticized for weakening the common civic enterprise represented by the public school system. To some, deliberation about education is a necessary means of making one society out of many groups. They think that people who demand freedom from regulations, educate children themselves, or pay for private schools weaken critical public forums.

A contrary view is that intellectual and values diversity are so important to a democratic society that questions about education should never be settled authoritatively. People who hold that view point to legislatures’ susceptibility to capture by interest groups and their inability to settle deeply controversial issues. They have reason to think that state standard-setting processes have degenerated into logrolling sessions among advocates for different subjects and that states have pretended false clarity about what skills young people must have in our boisterous, competitive, fast-moving, technology-driven, and unpredictable society.

Rhetorically, I believe the latter view merely conceals the desire for segregation. But I suppose it’s no fair to demonize the entire home schooling enterprise based on the view of a portion of the movement. And, it’s pretty clear that it can have benefits…like reducing the chances of your child being involved in a school shooting.
