Brainwashing is inevitable, just whether it's parents or state curriculum...
I saw home ed mummies organising"healing power of chrystals" classes for 5 year olds. This was in our Cheshire home-ed groups, add to that how flakey they were, and the fact our son seemed to get on better with school kids in playparks than other home-eds and we put him into school.
We monitor what he's taught, all pretty good so far.
There are always outliers in everything and, though I'm in the US not the UK, homeschooling has mostly caring parents who want the best education for their kids. I wish I had been homeschooling during covid - my kids wouldn't have suffered as much as they did since they had moved to a public high school after we homeschooled the first 8 years (10 if you count Kinder and pre-K). I have always believed, however, that the most important thing, no matter where your kids receive their education, is the involvement of the parents, so good on you for doing so!
Yeah, HomeEd is much less common in the UK that US, even by rate per million.
I think we've been transported to a new paradigm though, we're moving nation next. Actively looking to decouple from UK society at adult and child level as it stands. Interesting times.
You do have a point. More parents should homeschool if they possibly can, to avoid the brainwashing.
