My parents homeschooled me from age 4 to 17. I wish they hadn't. They didn't know what they were doing and it has caused me no end of problems. Public school is not fire and forget, but at least there is SOME oversight (for white kids anyway). My parents didn't just get away with their ineptitude, but were encouraged by WA state to continue isolating me in the name of "choice". This not as simple as "take the kid out of school and they will obviously turn into a better person because school is such a bad place". Learning to get along with your peers and interacting with authority figures is not something you can pick up by reading about it. I should know.
