The other side: Homeschooling can prevent children from learning about and being exposed to other kids from different backgrounds, Knight pointed out.

While public schools are held accountable for meeting student outcome standards and have requirements to teach social studies curriculum and civic engagement, “none of that is true for homeschooling,” he added.

There are also other challenges that present themselves “when it comes to this fracturing of educational experiences and common experiences,” Stephen Aguilar, an assistant professor of education at the University of Southern California, told Axios.

Among them are the absence of mandated reports when a student isn’t in a traditional classroom, the lack of measures of a student’s progress and the introduction to certain concepts, Aguilar said.

Absolute understatement. And completely ignores the problems of handing children over to corporations.
