Perhaps some of the suspicion towards home schoolers is that, in the past, the practice has primarily been associated with the type of parents who do it because they want to restrict their children to a very narrow curriculum so they won't be exposed to other ideas/ideals. More and more parents now seem to choose it because they want to provide their kids with access to more information and allow them to have more freedom than either public or private schools can provide.
Anyway, parent/teacher nights must be interesting.
