My mom taught special education (kids with learning disabilities or physical issues) for nearly forty years. My dad was the IT solutions architect for some of the world's biggest corporations. They wouldn't have been able to provide a home school environment for me even if it was something they were interested in.
I went to public school, but at the same time I wonder how different things would have been if the freedom that that Internet offers (in regards to access of information) was more readily available back then. Smartphones were a pipe dream. Compulsory education seems like bull**** to me when it doesn't seem to give anyone a grasp on how to handle what comes afterward.
