i'll jump in.
we've decided to homeschool our kids starting in the fall. i travel for a living and i just tend to miss a lot with my kids.
this way they can travel with me and i don't have to mad dash to get them to or from school on days where i'm traveling and they can't go with me.
we have no problem with public schools and actually it was a difficult decision because we loved our school.

A few years ago, my daughter in law decided to do homeschooling for her daughter because it would make it easier with because her husband travels for work. This way they could travel with him and she would be able to see all kinds of parts of America. They live in another state, otherwise I would have been involved in it.
It has worked out very well. Her daughter has done very well, is in a home school co-op, they pass along materials to others when they are finished with them, play sports, etc.

Having experienced both worlds, there were definitely more "freaks" in normal schools. Most homeschoolers I knew were pretty damn smart and went on to ace college. The social skills aspect is just a result of how they were raised - some seriously lacked them bc they had weirdo parents but most were normal or above average for their age.
All that said, I enjoyed normal school much better.

They do get diplomas which can vary widely in quality.
The most basic one is one that their parent prints up and signs off on as the "official" on it. I don't think much of that option and consider it only as valuable as the paper it is printed on.
You can also go thru an accredited home school programs and get a HS diploma from them.
The Louisiana online home school program offers an accredited HS Diploma as other accredited Louisiana high school students do. (Keep in mind that there are public schools who are NOT accredited, so diplomas from them are also not accredited.)
The best bet is to choose an accredited program for high school and keep records ( a transcript) of the classes taken. Use your local school's criteria and make sure your child takes all of the classes needed to get a diploma from an accredited public high school.
Also have your child take the basic standardized tests that other public school children are being given to show that they are achieving as well as, or better than, the students in public school.

What's stopping good teachers from setting up tons of mini-schools out of their home?
It seems like the demand is there.

If anyone spent 15 minutes with my 13 yo granddaughter and 9 yo grandson they woukd be solid for home schooling

I'm not sure it's like this everywhere, but here homeschooled kids can participate in all of the local public school's extracurricular activities. Most of the homeschooled kids go to the virtual school lab to do their courses at their own pace and can still be involved in activities so it helps with the socializing part that traditional homeschool lacks.

Apple pies are notoriously awkward and can be borderline psychopaths

Nothing! I have recommended to my daughter.
Side note:
I don't think many on here grasp what homeschooling is. It doesn't mean that the kid is taught by their parent. There are many options available. If you are interested in it, search on the internet for local associations in your area. Many have sports set up for the kids, etc. Mine leave tomorrow for a week of white water rafting, zip lines, horseback riding, etc. in the mountains of Tennessee with their classmates while the rest of public school kids taking finals.
Another side note: Mine went through 10th grade of public education. But the kids that they hang out with now for the most are homeschooled. None of them are weird, socially awkward etc. I think its a big stigma. We as parents couldn't be more pleased with their education now and the kids like it too. Its a win-win situation for us.

I'm not sure why. Perhaps the money is not enough for them or they may not be able to find the right clientele. But I think the demand for such may be growing as the public schools continue to decline and violence is becoming so commonplace in schools.
Our area is perfect for it since the public schools are utter crap and the private schools are overprices and over a 50 mile round trip everyday.
I had considered doing a small private school but then I don't want to be bothered with the gov't BS paperwork and all that.
By doing it as a homeschool co-op, ( and consultant) it gives me much more leeway. In fact, if I want to do it as a childcare/home school combo, then the gov't will pay the tuition for the kids who qualify (according to income guidelines).
I just see a lot for potential in this area and wonder why more teachers have not opted to start up their own business like this.
But for me, the main reason was for my stepsons daughter so that she will have all the advantages of a great education and socialization with her peers.

go for it. Our teacher has to do a lot of paperwork. she follows the same curriculum as the public schools, without art, PD, electives etc.
She only teaches the four core subjects which are needed for high school graduation.
