To be honest, and not trying to offend in any way; I do think there's a reigning stereotypical idea of homeschoolers as people who are out of sinc with the greater social world outside their imediate circle and sometimes either very well educated or sometimes not at all.

I'm not saying this stereotype coresponds with reality, but I do think the image itself exists. And if the stereotype exists, it's natural to see a character portrayed in this stereotypical manner.

Because I recognized the stereotype (which may or may not correspond to reality for all I know), I therefor assumed this might be a viable explanation.

Notwithstanding that there are a lot of different viable and plausible answers and yours definitely is one.

But may I ask, why do you doubt homeschooling exists? Granted, we don't have any concrete evidence for it's existance but it doesn't seem like a giant leap of faith to me to assume it might. Some form of homeschooling exists in many, many cultures after all.
