I could see this working out if you have highly educated parents but for the majority this will not end well.
This is accurate.
I've dealth with a fair amount of homeschoolers between what I do now and previously working in education (when kids would be re-entering public ed).
The ones that were the most successful were ones that worked with local cohort so they were still getting social interaction with a variety of peers and had good guidance/curriculum in a more structured program. For instance, we have a couple cohorts where they go into a class a couple days a week for a couple of hours but the rest is guided at home with someone of competency writing the curriculum.
Far too often I'd see people who pulled their kids out because they were dissatisfied with their public education experience but VASTLY overestimated their ability to provide their kid with a well-rounded, developmentally appropriate education. And it seemed to happen right around middle school age range.

There were some homeschool weirdoes that used to come into the public library - either the parents try really hard to educate the children well or the parents couldn’t care less.
