It depends on efficiency of the interventions you’d come up with (some may not be much of a “burden” at all) and on the elasticity with which parents who intend to homeschool are turned away by “burdens”. You make a good point but what you say is not generally true—it totally depends on the specifics of the situation. (Besides, didn’t the cited study say that both rates of abuse were roughly equal? I don’t think anyone suggested that public schooled kids have [edit: drastically] higher abuse rates than home schooled ones? Was it 37% vs 36%?)
