For many people, homeschooling simply isn't necessary.

Have you homeschooled? A better word for homeschooling might be "home-raised" or "home-taught." Schooling (whether gov't or private) is vastly different from homeschooling. The essential difference is parental/familial influence versus peer/teacher-stranger influence.

Nope. No kids yet. But I have gone to both public and private schools and I know many people who have gone to public schools. It is not possible to generalize as to whether all public schools are bad or good. Mine was quite good.

The question comes down to what kind of influence the peers and teachers exert. Again, some places the influences are bad, in others they are good.
