And I think the Death Eaters were eliminating Muggle-borns and their families and any who supported them.  That would include anyone who suddenly decided to "home school" their kids.  

I think the faculty stuck around to do whatever they could to protect the students. In the movie we don't get the sense that Snape is trying to thwart the Carrows, but it is in the books.
