I was homeschooled from 6th grade on. My parents went to the effort to actually teach me though, so I managed to get into a good college with scholarships.
Of course, they started homeschooling me after the school refused to do anything about the kids who literally held me down and beat me with a baseball bat (among other things) breaking my arm and cracking my skull. I got suspended for that incident because zero tolerance policy... And the school made me finish out the day before letting me go to the hospital. The judge threw out the lawsuit my parents filed because his kid was involved. The DA refused to press charges against the kids or the school because again, his kid was involved...
So yeah... I much prefer homeschooling to public school in an area with a corrupt government.
