We homeschooled because our oldest was not being well-served by the public school system. We stopped when my wife and I went back to school ourselves. We were in an association of homeschoolers who were initially formed by several Unitarians who were, ironically, concerned over the fundamentalist Christian influence in the public schools. That was in The Woodlands in Texas.

That's amazing. You had to homeschool because of "the fundamentalist Christian influence" in public schools. Truthfully, is that not an exaggeration? If not, it speaks volumes.

To give you a comparison, there isn't a heavy fundamentalist Christian influence in even the religious, private schools here, let alone the public schools. Homeschooling typically occurs here because the kid is having trouble learning in a regular school and/or the family lives in a neighborhood where a good public school does not exist and they can't afford the tuition at a private school.
