<p>There’s quite a wide variety of homeschooling settings.</p>
<p>Massachusetts has arguably one of the best school systems if you go by NAEP scores yet there’s a pretty vibrant homeschooling community in the state. Massachusetts also has the highest percentage of adults with college degrees at 49.6%.</p>
<p>A parent wouldn’t necessarily have to give up work to homeschool. Parents could just hire tutors to teach their kids or do the split-schedule thing. One of my sisters did the split-schedule thing with her husband to deal with childcare issues and they didn’t homeschool - but they had to take their kids to various things. They had work schedules that allowed them to do this and they didn’t get to see each other that much but you do what you have to.</p>
<p>One well-known case of homeschooling is the Williams Sisters that achieved the pinnacle of their sport. Would they have accomplished that with homeschooling? Doubtful as they wouldn’t have had the time to practice as much as they did.</p>
<p>I know a couple, both college professors that homeschooled two daughter to considerable success. They arranged their schedules to work around homeschooling.</p>
<p>Many homeschoolers, of course, do not have these options; but that doesn’t mean that every homeschooler has the limitations that you imply.</p>
