"i found the education they received to be uniformaly high quality, and I'm tired of knee-jerk attacks on the public school system. Some public schools suck, some don't. Some homeschooled kids get a decent education, some don't."

Of course you are basing your conclusions on isolated cases of success or failure.

The results of standardized test scores averaged over the entire nation flies in the face of your comments. On average home schooled childeren out perform their public schooled counter parts.

Please post cite. Not that this is unsurprising; clealry, parents who are willing to go to some lengths to provide their kids with an alternative education are likely going to have kids that outperform the rest. It's not really a fair comparison unless you match the two groups demographically.

On average home schooled children out perform their public schooled counter parts.

And the public school tests are dumbed down considerably.

Oh dear, the group which has, on average, a more expensive education performs better, on average, than the group which has a less expensive education. This totally invalidates the claim that "Some public schools suck, some don't. Some home-schooled kids get a decent education, some don't."
