Claim- Homeschooling shouldn’t be practiced
Data- Home schooling provides children with fewer resources of lower quality and lower quality teaching, is ideologically driven, and is a way of cheating the system.
Warrant- No testing or assessments, no multiculturalism, no socialization
Backing- No research conducted to provide backing for warrant
Grounds- No grounds because no official experimentation conducted
Conditions for rebuttal- If experimentation is conducted, and students prove have higher education levels due to the use of a standardized test, as well as greater socialization skills due to observational studies.
Qualifiers- No qualifier because no official experimentation conducted

You shouldn't assume that backing or grounds must be provided by experimentation. This might be true, but such support is often provided through personal experience or historical example.
Qualifiers have nothing to do with experimentation, but with the language the writers use to communicate their degree of confidence in their claims.
To see the connections between the parts of the Toulmin system, you need to address pieces of data separately:
Claim: homeschooling shouldn't be practiced
(because)
Date: it provides students with lower quality resources
Warrant: we should educate students in the model that provides the highest quality resources possible
