In my opinion Home-schooling and regular public schooling each has pros and cons. One may offer a more controlled environment , while the other may expose him or her to a world of ideas you could not possibly imagine. Making the right choice depends upon how your child learns and what kind of personality and characteristic your child has, and what you would like him or her to learn. Keeping the best interest of your child in mind makes the decision clearer.

just to add about the cost of homeschooling

“Question: If Method 1 spends – on a national average – $10,000 per child annually, and Method 2 spends only $500 per child, but Method 2 delivers better academic results, which method is preferable?

Fact: The average government school spends $10,000 per child per year, but its students scored 1.4 points lower than the family sponsored homeschooled child on the ACT, according to results from 2009.”

just to add about socializing:

Brian D. Ray, Ph.D. stated that :

" The home-educated are doing well, typically above average, on measures of social, emotional, and psychological development. Research measures include peer interaction, self-concept, leadership skills, family cohesion, participation in community service, and self-esteem.

Homeschool students are regularly engaged in social and educational activities outside their homes and with people other than their nuclear-family members. They are commonly involved in activities such as field trips, scouting, 4-H, political drives, church ministry, sports teams, and community volunteer work."

The statistics show little numbers, because it is gaining numbers now and they are increasing .

" homeschooling could attain popularity if online tutorials are readily available by a specialized guide"

There are online tutorials for everybody. If you want to learn you will find the way, the information and everything. The desire is the most important.

1. Socializing - There is also socializing at homeschooling, there are many other kids and families and you can easily make friends with them.

2. Interaction with teacher - Interaction with teacher is needed maybe in later education in college "specific field to provide broader view for the student." Homeschooler do not need this early interaction in Kindergarten when they learn to read and write or do simple math problems

3.For your information according to Brian D. Ray, Ph.D. (2015) :"Home-educated students typically score above average on the SAT and ACT tests that colleges consider for admissions."

4.facilities

Homeschoolers also have access to libraries, online sourcing.

5. Knowledge

Homeschoolers knowledge is defiantly not limited. They are increasingly being actively recruited by colleges.

I think homeschooling is better than public schools. Kids are proven to learn better in well known environment and many colleges prefer homeschoolers. And it is getting a bigger popularity and it seems to be effective. According to Brian D. Ray, Ph.D.

( 2015) " Homeschooling may be the fastest-growing form of education in the United States. Home-based education has also been growing around the world in many other nations (e.g., Australia, Canada, France, Hungary, Japan, Kenya, Russia, Mexico, South Korea, Thailand, and the United Kingdom).

Brian D.Ray, Ph.D. adds: " There are about 2.2 million home-educated students in the United States. There were an estimated 1.73 to 2.35 million children (in grades K to 12) home educated during the spring of 2010 in the United States (Ray, 2011). It appears the homeschool population is continuing to grow (at an estimated 2% to 8% per annum over the past few years)."
