The vast majority of home-schoolers in my area (US Bible Belt) are doing so because parents want to teach xtianity (usually fundamentalist) and keep their children away from the evils of the world: music, sex, drugs, tv shows, homosexuals, tattoos and piercings, gambling, - you name it. These children are usually only socialized within their church groups and are usually completely unprepared for college.
Although I did know one woman, an atheist with three Masters degrees (Math, Psychology, and Special Education) who home-schooled her kids to keep them away from the Jesus freaks. All three kids graduated high school courses years early, and are now in college on earned scholarships.
