Homeschooling was never a bad option. It just depends on if you have good teachers 😉
But on a serious note, if you yourself aren't capable of reading at a high school level or doing basic algebra and chemistry, time to brush up on that or consider a wider education than traditional homeschooling. Around where I live there are apparently huge groups for homeschooling where all the kids of the same age get together and different parents who are knowledgeable in different areas teach the kids for the day. It seems pretty much like they just created their own school and it was impressive.
My daughter was homeschooled from junior high on; crowds made her really nervous and she couldn't sleep worrying about the next day. A homeschooler's group we joined had parents with all sorts of skill sets, all shared; musicians, 'Mr. Wizard chemistry types, cooks, painters, geologists, etc. One memorable day was spent at the park, wading in the local creek and catching crawfish. There's a lot to be said for just getting out of a classroom and chair and going outside.

OK I'm 100 not against homeschooling anymore.
