Benefit - you have control over whether or not your child is indoctrinated to be a socialist.
Seriously, like everyone else said, depends on the parent. I homeschooled one of mine for a year early on because he had serious issues reading. They weren't teaching phonics any more (not sure if they've ever restarted), so I kept him home for second grade and started at square one with how to sound things out. Since he was really good at math, also ramped him up to practically algebra. The one year of reteaching reading skills fixed the issue.
Especially if it is only one child, you can tailor everything specifically to them, without worrying whether the other 29 munchkins in the room are bored or struggling. Takes a bit more organization to do more than one, but my cousin homeschooled all 3 of hers k-12. The oldest of hers got a scholarship to Vandy, graduated from there with honors, and is now probably a socialist anyway living in California. The other 2 are currently in college.

I wish I was homeschooled and devoted 2 hours per day to making boudin and cracklins. I would have been a making millions a year

We have some friends who homeschool and I sort of envy their rhythm. They school at home, have social outings (hikes, fishing, playgrounds, etc) with other homeschool kids.
Main reason I never considered is long term viability. I could see homeschooling a 3rd grader but not an 8th grader or above, they’d just argue too damn much.
