Parents of troubled kids may quite likely resort to home schooling because they don't like how the school system is treating them.

It could be that the school truly is not meeting the childs needs.

It can also be part of the same tendency I have discussed before to shield mentally ill children from the system, in a misguided attempt to avoid having them "labeled". The problem is sometimes not actually how the school system is treating the child, but rather that the parents don't want to admit what kind of help and treatment the child needs, so they remove them from the environment that is telling them what the right thing to do is or what the truth is about their childs behavior.

It is easier to live in denial about a child having issues if you isolate them.
