Homeschooled, myself. Academically, I have a MS CS. My sibling has a PhD. It worked, academically.

I don't particularly recommend it for anyone without substantial need. I would put genius-level children at that level. We weren't geniuses.

I can imagine an... alternative... schooling coop which would work well. But there are whole volumes of good behavior that I had to intake as a teen & young adult that homeschooling had no ability to teach me.

Parents of homeschooled kids don't notice, I think. Because this is about peer behavior and interaction. Not child-parent interaction.
