Question: Why are such a growing number of people electing to homeschool their children? 

Answer: You don't have to be a religious nut or a hippie to home school and it's small minded in the extreme for people to brand home schooling as fanatical. Parents are the primary educators of their children FACT. So why wouldn't they educate their children themselves?!
