most resistance to the idea of homeschooling almost always comes down to socialization. "I knew a homeschooled kid once and you could tell, he was socially awkward" etc.
fact is, most of "school" when you're young is really just daycare + obedience training.
when you're learning new things about math or science or literature or geography you can't be socializing. socialization occurs outside of academic study. learning requires focus and attention and *no* socialization, even for adults.
play a sport. join a club. enter a competition. play games.
i went to school to learn subjects but it was all my time spent outside of the classroom that i learned people.
