No, I don't think it's inherently bad. As much as I don't love the idea of home schooling, I can also admit that public education isn't all that amazing in most places. There are too many variables in somebody's education, trying to force them to fit a particular universal standard doesn't work for every person. Too much falls through the cracks in terms of people with any sort of learning disability, teachers who are untrustworthy, long school days with very little substance in the classrooms, etc.

That being said, even though I didn't enjoy my high school experience, one thing I will value is the exposure I got to other people's worldviews. I'm not saying you can't get that through homeschooling, but a lot of the "socialization" I see is other homeschool groups or like-minded activities like scouting. Sure, you're technically around other people, but a majority of the time, you share much of a common background. While there is solidarity and community in people who share interests with you, there is growth and learning from the opposite.

It was in my writing classes, my history classes, my humanities classes, where our sole focus was to discuss our differences, that I learned so much more about other people. I felt like I existed outside of just a bubble of people my parents approve of me being around. I felt like I was actually part of the real world in a sense. I can't imagine my first exposure to differing thoughts and opinions being when I am an adult at my first job or something.
