I have two qualms with homeschooling:
1. One thing that public school provides, that homeschooling does not is social interaction (even if you are a loner). I think that is an important part of human development. That includes, presenting projects in class, talking in the halls, and just learning how to communicate with peers and teachers in the proper manner.
2. I don't know how valid this concern is, but sometimes parents are a bit overbearing (for better or worse) or not concerned enough about their child's education. I think public school can give the right education without a foreboding parent figure looming constantly. This is the impression I have from some of the home schooled kids I have met.
