Everyone is different, both parent and child and situation and locations. I grew up in Alaska and knew people who were home schooled or who were home schooling. Just like quilting or anything else, it can be well done or not so well done.
There are positives in social skills from having to deal with diverse people and discernment of who is really your friend, sometimes hard lessons learned that way. Teachers face many challenges and hurdles, they can't do everything for every body -- but they can have set ups for specializations that you don't get so easily at home like chemistry. I'm really distressed at the loss of electives in the arts that expose students to different concepts and ideas. I'm also concerned about STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) in public schools and even more so for the home educator. I've just met too many math-phobic people even quilters and we use math and geometry every day! I know in our relatively well off Seattle area there are resources/classes where people knowledgeable in math or other subjects can teach the sciences. With shifting populations, one of my nearby elementary school was used as one of those locations for a year or two.
School was hard on my son, he has some ADD issues and the basic standard classroom is about the worst sort of place for him be. I was a hard working single parent and we just were getting by, couldn't afford private education. The schools never figured it out but I finally did, too late in his senior year, that he was not an auditory learner. After about 5 minutes (or less) lecture turns into the Charlie Brown blah blah blah teacher's voice. At the same time he is gifted and was curious, he probably could have benefited in some ways from home schooling.
On the other hand, I had a friend who was an elementary teacher and early education reading specialist. She had the opportunity to move with her husband and her then 3 year old to a remote site for two years. She confided in me that she could tell her kid wasn't one of the average kids and she needed to get him into a group of peers fast. That was the education he needed more than things she could teach him. When the remote assignment was done, they moved into town and she started him in a pre-kindergarten.
