I don't think the dichotomy you're presenting is fair? You can have bad kids, teachers, etc. bully your kid at school. For the most part, you're not going to get bullied in most office jobs (though I do not want to downplay its existence in the workplace). At the very least, given enough privilege, you can change jobs. You can homeschool children and still have them socialize (in more controlled environments until you loosen your level of paranoia).

Why is school the only place to establish a personality or develop socialization? There are plenty of communities outside of school where kids and adults can engage and grow.

If you have enough resources I don't see why homeschooling would be an invalid option. The public school system is terrible for a multitude of reasons.
