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.

I disagree.  Homeschooling may not be best for everyone but it is far better for the vast majority of students.  Also, homeschooling isn't one sizes fits all.  There is more diversity in homeschooling in the US than all of the public schools in the US combined.

Sure, but the best system is one that optimizes the cirriculumn for the students. I know plenty of kids that tried homeschooling with abysmal results because the parents really didn't care to do anything for the children. That is when it gets very dangerous for the homeshcooler.
