This not meant to be the "final word" on educational systems, it's just one man's observations.
My wife is a retired high school and college English teacher. Her high school experience was almost entirely in private Christian schools and her college teaching was in a public college that is part of the Georgia University system.
We have eight grandchildren who have been or are being home schooled. My wife's observation is that there are successful home schools, successful private schools, and successful public schools. Conversely, there are failing home schools, failing private schools, and failing public schools.

Congratulations to you successful parents who have made wise decisions about what is best for your children.
At least, that's one old man's opinion.
