I would extend it to any "implicit authority"
Oh, I love this one: You're too stupid to homeschool your kids, but where did you get your education from that made you too stupid to educate your kids?
What I love most about arguing with my Gerrrrman family about homeschooling: Hitler banned homeschooling, but if Hitler is the bad guy, doesn't that make homeschooling good somehow?
Love goes out to all the beautiful families, that chose unschooling, homeschooling, worldschooling to enrich their kid's life (and their own).

I would say it is about an authority illusion. What helps a lot is to know a teacher working in the system. The fact is there are good but ALSO bad teachers in the legacy school system.
Who is more suited (no matter a way of "teaching") for passing better education to a kid? His parents knowing about their kid everything or a teacher having contact with him through few hours in class together with another 20 kids?
For me the answer is obvious, the rest is a fear from unknown.
* I also understand homeschooling or unschooling is not for every parent out there due to constraints and choices made given living in this particular time but it should be common sense to let those who are willing to and want to provide the education they think is the best for their kids.
