Well, as a data point, I was homeschooled my entire life and I hated it. There has never been any doubt in my mind that I was shortchanged socially and academically. I struggle to relate to people and have no real friends. I also wasn't qualified to get into schools that I know I could have done the work at - since mercifully the tech skills I've taught myself allowed me to have a career, I've managed to work alongside grads from Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley. I would never, ever subject my own kids if I ever have any to such an experience.
