It is illegal where I live and I do think it’s a good idea for it to continue to be that way.
Aside from the obvious problem with actually learning children, one important part of school is for society to check if the children are well.
Free lunch for everyone is provided every school day, in fact it’s illegal to not provide free lunch. So it’s also a good way to make sure all children at least get a minimum amount of food each day even if they don’t get any at home.
If the children can “learn” at home the rest of society would have no idea if they for example starve or are abused. It’s much harder to hide abuse if the children are forced to go to school each day with teachers that are educated on how to spot signs of abuse. It’s also great for children to make friends and not be insulated.
Yes, school isn’t perfect due to stuff like bullying but that should be solved in other ways.

Also it teaches children how yo socialise and live with other people.
This is super important if you want to like have a society bigger thay your family.
Homeschooling is so stupid in all its ways.
Not always, but this is underfunding problem.
