Anecdotally, most current or former homeschooled kids I meet seem pretty socially awkward. I wonder if It’s because the miss-out on the opportunity to learn how to socialize properly as children. But maybe I’m being too critical, idk.

I think home schooling (and private schools) should be illegal. Everyone’s kids should have to go through the same public education system. No exceptions. Public schools could use an influx of cash, and there are definitely edge cases that they don’t handle well currently. We should advocate for making them better rather than finding an alternative.
Didn’t Finland do this? (Ban private schools)
Not really, but they’ve regulated very similarly to public schools. They have to follow the national curriculum and can’t charge tuition.
In practice I’ve only ever seen Waldorf schools as far as private goes. Maybe internatioal baccalaureate is private, too? I guess there might be some with focus on going pro athlete, too.
