It is always good to ensure homemakers have some certification or training to ensure they are teaching according to established standards. I can go into one very close example where I saw a mom who basically hated and failed school keeping her kids home to "home school" but it was just an excuse for her to sleep in. The kids got up, did workbooks and then played video games all day as she "chatted" it up with her church group about how fantastic it all was. The net was anti-social, very uneducated teenagers I think this isn’t as bad as it seems.
