    Found it after writing the comment originally.

    Do you count safety drugs and negative peer pressure as religious? I was counting that and academic rigor as the schools being bad. And religious reasons I was counting as religious.

      Problems with schools really come down to a choice by the middle class. That choice was that they wanted to keep their money rather than live in a good society. Schools have suffered as a result. This is by choice, not by design.

        Sure. But that doesn’t change that people homeschool because the schools are bad. I absolutely agree that schools should be better.
