My daughter was in Kindergarten last year, and while the public schools here aren't horrible, at about 4-6th something breaks down. I figure it's because some basic principle is getting skipped early on that degenerates into real problems later.

Homeschooling is something I had looked into since my oldest was born and seriously considered it before she went to school last year. If we had stayed in GA I would have homeschooled from the beginning.

I do wonder about the missed socialization mainly because I see how much they really enjoy themselves at Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. But I can't see ruining their education for recess and it's not like I don't have activities planned that involve other kids.
Inside each person lives two wolves. One is loyal, kind, respectful, humble and open to the mystery of life. The other is greedy, jealous, hateful, afraid and blind to the wonders of life. They are in battle for your spirit. The one who wins is the one you feed.

I homeschooled until I was in the 4th grade. I found myself having great difficulties being able to socialize once I did go to school. It wasn't until highschool that I finally fit in.

I would personally never recommend homeschooling.

Although I didn't attend public school, one of the problems I had heard repeatedly with the teachers in the district was that once they were tenured, they stopped giving a shit. Obviously there were exceptions to this, but it was a cause for concern if it was the main subject of PTA gossip.

I absolutely loved private school, although the blazer and tie did get old (regardless of what my mom thought).
