The idea that parents know whether or not something is crossing some bright line into "hothousing" from regular "good parenting."
Thanks, I was perhaps confused by the reference to bars, whose context seemed to indicate a limitation of parental knowledge (a glass ceiling?), and began to wonder if "parents know best" had morphed the subject to parental level of confidence in homeschooling (familiarity with specific academics, grade level curricula, outcomes/expectations, etc)...?

Regarding the ongoing search for the bright line: This may be like defining land and sea... obvious at a distance, but when focused on it closely that demarcation of shoreline may be elusive... high tide... low tide... a moving target. Fortunately that gray area of ever-changing shoreline is a much smaller mass than either land or sea.
