Public school is coach.
 Private school is business class.
Homeschool is first class.

Sorry…homeschool is flying basic economy coach unless you are wealthy enough to hire the best private tutors around.

People homeschool because they are poor and usually live in a shit hole area with awful public schools.

Except the billionaire who decided to sail around the world on his super yacht and pulled his kids from a top private while hiring two incredible tutors for the journey…and then promptly re-enrolled them in the top private upon return.[/quote]

Are you stupid? Who do you think these "incredible tutors" are? They are extra housewives because the billionaire housewives are busy working or playing.

Teaching a child well isn't hard. Teaching 30 children well is hard.

No...in this instance the guy hired two university professors to go on the trip.  I helped sell a company to the guy.

My only point is that nobody with two nickels homeschools except if their kid is some olympic athlete (not uncommon for sports like equestrian or what not) or equivalent, or in this instance they decided to take their 7th grade twins around the world on a yacht.[/quote]

A big chunk of homeschooling is people with religious/moral objections to what is taught in public and most private schools.  They want a controlled environment, FWIW.

As for tutors, most are teachers at one level or another or very bright recent grads who aced the courses and subjects they tutor, so they know how to do well in them.

I tutored a few years before getting a classroom job, including remote home schooling during COVID.  It's a good way for newbies to cut their teeth and find their voice in terms of teaching technique. I was coming from earlier careers with subject knowledge but needed to learn the craft.
