The families I know of who are home-schooled do it because of religious reasons for the most part.
These children are going to grow up and have to leave their insular worlds and it is going to be a huge shock and disservice if parents home-school without preparing children to think for themselves rather than be taught not to think, but only to have a narrow view.
I think public education, for all its downfalls, gives a wider view of the world and parents can then guide their children towards what is morally and socially acceptable from all the information provided.
