I don't think I'd handle it too well; I think I'd want to home school, but that doesn't change the fact this situation is widespread throughout the remainder of society. Mediocrity is the new black.
Home schooling needs to be done right for it to work. These co op home schools have a good premise where kids still get social interaction and things like that. I work for a public school and we get vilified for things that are beyond our control. It's been close to twenty years and parents haven't gotten any less nuts.
I agree, and I know people who regret doing it. In a way, I'm glad I'm not a parent who has to make a decision either way. I know I'd not send my kids to a private school though, I think the right public school works well, provided it's augmented with other things outside of school.
