There are many arguments for and against both public and home school. Some of the advantages of homeschool are choice of curriculum, choice of schedule, smaller teacher to student ration and independent learning. Also, homeschooling can really advance a student quickly if they work hard and they stay involved. For example, when public school students run for a council seat within their student body, it is a pretend council seat. Homeschool students can actually learn about real city officials and the actually government officials. Arguments against home school say that it's more expensive, teachers are not qualified to teach all subjects, it's harder to provide social interaction, and colleges may have stricter admission policies.
Some of the pros of public schools are learning in a group setting, extra-curricular activity, more curriculum opportunities, and diverse social education. Ultimately, I feel it is up to the parents to address the individual needs of their child. For example, does the child have special needs, either physically, intellectually, socially or emotionally? It is important to analyze your own situation. If you choose homeschooling, can you provide the needed environment of learning? Or can the public school system provide the needed environment of learning
