While true, I just don't think a one-on-one education, however skilled the tutor might be, could possibly match the social development that comes as consequence of classroom education.
I admit that their ability to not embarrass themselves among their peers is greater than those who are homeschooled or from experimental private schools, and their traditionally-schooled biting, ironic sarcasm is unmatched among the more naive non-schooled population. Traditional schoolchildren are also much better at taking instructions, falling in line, acquiescing to the wishes of their superiors, and bearing assaults on decency and freedom without complaint.
I made it through 12 years of public school and am extraordinarily "well-socialized", and I am disgusted by what it took to make me that way. It's only now that I've been out of school for about a decade that I've finally started to turn into a human being.
If you look at another of my response comments to my parent comment, I mention that I don't really know if the system could be replaced with something better, but I don't think standardized education is good for anyone when compared to non-standardized education.
