Hell no.
Our neighbor's kids were home schooled. It was very odd. They came over to play with my kid but instead ended up talking to us and helping us make dinner. They didn't know what it was like to "play" and was unable to have a conversation with a kid their age.
Also, home schooled kids miss out on everything else that public school includes. Homecoming, Prom, football games.... Yeah, I know what they will say - "Oh, home school kids still do those things". It's not the same. One of our friends home school their kids. The oldest son is a senior and decided not to go to prom. He only knows a handful of kids at the school. At the end of Senior year they show up and graduate with hundreds of kids they don't know.
