I just bought a bunch of Christmas presents. Huh. Something caught my eye on overstock.com, and I just did it! I never do stuff early like that.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

So what are the common reasons parents do the homeschooling thing? Religious beliefs? School system sucks? Mother is a teacher?
I'd guess those are them, for varying definitions of each.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Does anyone subscribe to Science magazine? There's a series of articles in the Nov 4th issue that I want to read.

Mostly religion, but I did it for other reasons. Bobby was not doing well in school. He was border line on the calendar and I decided he needed to be pulled out and put back in the same grade the next year. I gave him one on one schooling for half a year then put him back in school.
I know parents of children with learning issues that home school because it serves the child's needs best. It works better for some super brainiacs that need more challenges and it works for children with special needs if their parents have the skill to do it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's also the chance that the school system, while not sucking, can't keep up with little Timmy, who might be special needs in the broad sense which includes genius.
eta: y'know, like Laura said.

Don't forget, Parental Unit is a control freak who needs to approve every single little thing that enters Junior's tender mind.

Oh yeah I see that too Theo. That type has issues with the notion that Johnny might make a friend they don't approve of too.
