Welcome. I just remembered this topic has come up a lot, so better not restart the discussion from scratch. It's a great topic of discussion though, so it's good it comes up once in a while.

I like the education system in most countries I've lived in, so I am biased against homeschooling. But I don't have US experience, and that's where this topic comes up most, so it's interesting to read about people's motivations to pursue homeschooling.

I hope @Shugard will share his own thoughts on the topic. Posting controversial topics just for the sake of getting other people to talk about it does not brush me in the best way :)
