In the last 3 years I've been to a public school, online homeschooling and a private school.
I rank them
1st: Private School
2nd: Online Homeschooling
3rd: Public School
Of course these are my experiences,
The best was by far Private School, because of a program at my private school where every student had a mentor, who was usually a member of staff, it was your mentors job to make sure you were doing fine; Absent on the day you had to hand in homework? Give it to your mentor. Behind in class? Ask your mentor to get you the un-completed work from your teacher. 1 on 1 helped me a-lot in school, could just be me though.
Online Homeschool is in second because of how lenient it was, I could do all my weeks school-work in a day, I could also just do it at 3 in the morning, I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have because my parents weren't able to understand the work I was given, so as soon as I didn't know something I was boned.
Public School is 3rd because there wasn't actually anything out-standing, although it's a-lot cheaper than a private school, so if a care-giver can't afford the other two options, the child can still get an education.

Fair point. Now that you mention it I'm not sure how I would have done starting homeschooling at a younger age. A lot of what imslayaa said is true. I could complete a weeks worth of assigned work in basically a day, and do work whenever I wanted - it really wasn't monitored at all. I'm not sure how well a younger kid would deal with that level of freedom.

I would not flame others for being uninformed
I'm not quite sure that saying someone may be uninformed is 'flaming.'

Again fair point. I am only commenting on this from my viewpoint of americunt, and as far as I know we're pretty much the bottom of the barrel as far as first-world countries go in terms of public education.
I think that we should go to school however I have a strong opinion on the syllabus. Our syllabus is so fucked up that we forget more than 60% of the crap we learnt at school (Quadratic equations) We don't learn tax's at school, we don't learn laws or our human rights at school. We should have to choose whether or not we want subjects to be mandatory. In my country, New Zealand, they are adding driving to the NCEA program. This means you can score extra credit if you take driving tests.
These has gone too far.

I learned taxes, human rights and laws at school because I did modern studies.
What's wrong with driving tests? Why is that too far?
