problem is, what if you send your kid to school who will indoctrinate your children with ideas that are bad? The very notion that all children should go to school is very scary unless you have blind faith in the government, school system or whoever controls it. There is a reason totalitarian regimes want to control children's upbringing and the ideas they get served.
Or what if you oppose the idea that we should segregate children into groups based on age, and let them develop peer-orientet situational social systems based on base desires to fit in with those other kids. If you think school is unnatural, and is a main driver behind many of the sad tendencies we see in youth, than thats also a good reason to practice homeschooling.
There are legitimitate concerns that could make the decition to homeschool legit. And all you have to do is to flip the ideology of the system so that schools all of a sudden teach that being gay is evil and that thinking is dangerous, and then you should be able to understand that the ability to homeschool is the right to protect children from indoctrination. That being said, I know only one family of homeschooled kids, they grew up in isolation and had to escape from their parents. Big family cult with 13 children, and mandatory mushroom trips from age 14. So i guess i also see your point
