Read what I said more carefully. Violence can happen anywhere, but many people's only experience with it is at government school and almost everyone experiences violence at government school, whether or not they also experience it elsewhere.
That would be an unacceptable tradeoff for most parents if someone were pitching government school to parents from a starting point of not having it. We're used to the abject failures of the state, so most people are numb to them, but it doesn't have to be this way.
But kids fight even before school. Kid on kid violence happens all the time especially amongst siblings.
It happens in public schools private schools I am sure during homeschool social gatherings as well.
Saying violence happened at a government school is due to the government seems to just blame the government for natural human behavior.
So I am failing to see your point in saying that most people only experience violence at government schools.
Does homeschooling stop kids from randomly facing violence in their life?
How much time have you spent in a government school environment?
It's not normal. It's extremely artificial and unaccountable.
Does homeschooling stop kids from randomly facing violence in their life?
Homeschooling radically reduces the likelihood of facing daily violence, which is not an uncommon experience for children in government schools. How could it not?
This would be like saying you're just as likely to face violence on house arrest as you are in prison, just because it's possible in both situations.
Daily violence? Unless you went to a terrible school most kids ain’t getting beat up every day at school. Plus violence at school is more an issue with American parents and the lack of decent morals and values
But even with that kids are running on 100% emotion. You can only do so much to stop violence
We agree about the last point, but daily violence doesn't mean you get beaten up everyday. It means there's a sufficient risk of it that you're scared everyday. That's not as uncommon as you probably think and it should be unacceptable, and I bet it would be considered unacceptable if that were the case at private schools (which it isn't).

Isn't that a reason for American parents to homeschool, then? Or, move out of the country, I guess? It's not like I get to change the morals and values of all my neighbors.
Yeah absolutely. But dealing with the threat of violence definitely has an impact on development.
Only place? That’s not true. Violence can happen in the home at church at the playground.
Violence comes with being human. It’s not avoidable as much as we try to subdue it in this modern society.
And complete failure is a stretch. We have so much recency bias when it comes to schooling. Before the state took over education the literacy rate was terrible especially amongst the poor.
