Every person I know who was homeschooled spent time at a regular school (usually public school). IMO they were better for the experience of being in a regular school, but they also didn't suffer any for being mostly home schooled. Depends on the kid, the parents (can they do a decent job of home schooling), the locally available schools and ther approach to education, the overall quality and range of choices in the education system.
Zealots who say homeschooling is the best way for everyone are as bad as those who say homeschooling is bad. The worst thing you can do with education is try to make things one size fits all.
