> think they know more than the experts.

Ah, the experts. I have no sort of education in education at all. Why was I better (and still am) at helping mates learn and solve CS exercises at Uni than some of the expert and qualified teachers? A friend of mine recently started a CS course to pivot his professional career. When he doesn't understand what the teacher is on about, he comes to me for help.

I have huge respect for the concept of teachers, but sadly a lot of people are teachers because they didn't know what else to be.

> from my limited experience the kids who are home schooled have huge holes in their education

I don't want this to sound snarky at all, but I'd honestly be happy to provide you with real life cases that would broaden your experience and hopefully tilt your viewpoint.
