Please remember that not everyone has the same experiences, socially, in school and that for some, homeschooling is the vastly better option in that regard.

I would disagree with this. Those who do best on their own (let's imagine the stereo-typical nerd) are those who most need the social training of school to succeed in life.

Schooling only drove me further and further into hiding who I was, to great detriment. It was only upon leaving school that I got the "social training" I needed to succeed.
