> Not sure what "a recognized homeschool program" is

E.g. something like Khan Academy's homeschool curriculum, or CK-12, etc. that is a complete curriculum ostensibly developed by people who know what they are doing, not just some moms making it up as they go.

Also if a kid wants to be involved in sports, that is more complicated for homeschoolers.



Not just sports, either. It ain't like a homeschool's gonna have a band program or a theater class. There are probably non-school-affiliated alternatives for them in one's community, but IME they tend to expect participants to be at least already competent at it. And no, solo tutoring ain't gonna cut it for that; being able to coordinate with dozens (or even multiple hundreds!) of other performers is its own skill, and I don't know of very many good ways to teach it other than practice.
