I would say somewhat the same if you define by what is meant by "public"; a large function of schooling as it is after all is to make one be "trained" into the society you live in (This is pretty much an undeniable fact).

I've never said that I think no child should be barred from access to education; especially if said child happens to be among lower income bracket families.

I have serious qualms about home schooling standards and would like the ability to home school to be strictly monitored, essentially having permission given only a situation where there is some clear impediment to the child attending public schools (preventing parents from keeping their children at home to brainwash or because they are overly protective). Private and parochial schools are fine with me as long as the latter get no government funding, and public education is the best thing since sliced bread.

Why allow private, but not homeschooling?

Private institutions, because of the number of students, tend to average to some level of decency. With homeschooling, you're more likely to end up with nutcase parents doing the teaching. In any case, private schools are slightly regulated (though to a lesser extent than public schools).

I've certainly never gotten the impression that private schools do a better job of allowing you to function in society. Rather the opposite, actually; most of my fellow private school graduates were too insulated from society to achieve anything, while public school graduates were much more driven to succeed.
