I find the "unschooling" movement of homeschooling a bit unsettling. Those are the kids that don't have to leave the house or do much of anything, depending on how "strictly" the parents believe in it. That said, traditional homeschooling is actually much more intensive than American public schooling (idk what country you are in), which is why my family does it. I push my kids harder than any of the other kids I know that are their age, and they are significantly more advanced than the children their age. Decades ago homeschooling was generally a thing because a particular parent was not happy with the lack of religion in school. Nowadays homeschooling is more often an issue of not enough education in public school. That is the way it is in my little part of the world anyway.
It's not about education but socializing. You can teach them after school but you can't teach them how to interact with peers. And I think that that was the point of this post.
My kids are grown ups and I'm glad that I don't need to worry.
It is always interesting how different people read things. I was looking at the writing from the perspective of discipline. In regard to socialization, I have always been in favor of my kids socializing in lots of public places, but outside of the public school system - avoids some of the bad habits that come from mixing with every sort of kid out there. Unfortunately parenting is very experimental, I will just have to wait and see if I made the right choices when I am sitting in your position and looking back.
I wish you good luck with your experiment.
We called it life back then.
