Line 20:
* James-Michael in ''[[Omega the Unknown]]'' is raised in the mountains by his parents, who are secretly {{spoiler|[[Robotic Reveal|robots]]}}, and we are then treated to his experiences moving to NYC's Hell's Kitchen where he attends a rather terrifying [[Inner-City School]].
 
=== FanfictionFan Works ===
 
* Homeschooling is forbidden by law in ''[[Aeon Entelechy Evangelion]]'', as it will only give the cultists a legal bonus when converting new members.
Line 34:
 
* In ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]],'' [[Word of God]] says that many Wizard families homeschool their children before they can attend Hogwarts, including the Weasleys. Most of the usual factors of this trope are [[Averted Trope|averted]], however.
** In ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Deathly Hallows (novel)|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'', it was stated all Wizard families were allowed to keep homeschooling their children instead of sending them to Hogwarts, albeit few, if any, did so. It became forbidden when a Voldemort-controlled Ministry declared Hogwarts attendance mandatory. {{spoiler|It's never been stated if the law was changed again after Voldemort's downfall.}}

* Very extreme example in ''[[Law and Order Special Victims Unit|Law & Order SVU]]'', where the kid ends up killing his own brother.
** There were a couple of more realistic home schooled kids (indeed one of the antagonists of the episode was a lawyer who automatically decided that the villain was being persecuted because of this trope).
