I was homeschooled, and I loved it. The only catch is making sure the home educated child has friends. Going to a public school your odds of picking up a friend or two are pretty good, but when you are homeschooled your parents have to be active in your social life, unless you have a friend that lives really close to you.
And much like private schools, home education usually results in higher grades :D

That depends on the student of course...

The grades? Homeschoolers perform better on average, so it's not just some students.

The most recent major study is the Progress Report 2009, which surveyed over 11,000 homeschooled students, and showed homeschoolers K–12 scoring an average 37 percentile points above the national average on standardized achievement tests.[/quote]

Just sayin' it's up to them, but it is a tendency.
