The practice is great too. Almost all studies and surveys done to date suggest that homeschoolers do better across pretty much every measured metric, and that this gap is widening over time to favor homeschooling even more. If you've ever heard about Bloom's 2-sigma problem, this should be unsurprising.
There are of course problems with survey data, but it's a huge mistake to think that homeschooling = the worst anecdotes you can find on TV.
> By and large (with exceptions, obviously), you are motivated by religious separatism.
This is not true. In the National Household Education Survey (2016), only 16% of homeschoolers said religious motivation was their primary reason, and only 5% moral education was their primary reason. Dissatisfaction with school academic quality and concern about environment at school were the two primary drivers.
