Notes -
They think they're smarter than the government. One would expect a (house-repair seems to be implied in your comment) contractor, who deals with onerous permit requirements on a daily basis, to be intimately familiar with how stupid the government is.
It also may be worth pointing out which specific parts of government schooling you object to. He may be thinking of the stereotypical religious homeschooler, who sees no fault in the government's teaching process but has disagreements with the government's curriculum, for mostly subjective reasons. You could present yourself as a more reasonable person who would more or less adhere to the government's curriculum but avoid the dysfunction of the government's teaching process, which you can demonstrate to be objectively bad.
Umm, homeschooling mothers, even the stereotypical religious homeschooling mothers, see a lot of fault in the government’s teaching methods, not just the curriculum.
Yes, finding fault with public school methods and process is obviously self serving for these women(and yes many of them are… difficult to deal with, but they also have children who run amok and sometimes make things difficult for contractors, with ‘bitches be crazy’ usually a more palatable statement than ‘securing a jobsite against an eight year old is a pain’), but they will explain at great length how the public school system is doing it wrong.
