So much this.

So much depends on the situation. I watch a cooking show called Frontier Woman where the family lives on a cattle ranch a million miles from anywhere so she home schools. If I had lived in a crappy neighborhood when my kids were young I would have considered it but both me and Linda had to work full time so we moved to a nicer place and went public.

If you live in a decent area go public and let your kids not only experience the education but also the social experience.

IMO.
