Not sure where you got your information but I grew up by Albert Einstein’s home town Ulm and he most definitely was homeschooled.

Several of these people were not homeschooled. You should check your sources. Einstein for one was never homeschooled, but attended school, though he hated it. I can find no evidence that the Wright Brothers were homeschooled. Whoopi Goldberg attended Catholic school and dropped out of high school and went to work.
