Seriously. My wife is 8 months in and we're definitely homeschooling our daughter. My sister is a public school teacher and the things she tells me...oh man, she is literally the best advocate for totally defunding public school altogether. Half her students would never or rarely show up to class and she was required to pass failing students. Truly is a clown world.
She's a pretty hard lefty and even she knows it's all pointless, which is sad because she's a good teacher and the kids that actually participate love her. I'm going to try my hardest to get her to start some sort of mobile "home" schooling business or something, and now with next year school being so restricted I hope she actually gives it a shot.
Socialization does not have to be an issue.
I know many many families who homeschool. Do your homework re associations. My church is a meeting place for tutorials, which are like electives...and this group is larger enough they have Baseball teams, ballet, and even Orchestra. These kids are learning everything! and have many friends.
Every year, at the big fairgrounds, there is a Home Schooling Convention that gets NO publicity...and Fr--Sat last year, 230, 000 people attended.
and I am in a commie State (WA)!
SO...do your homework...many, many curricula, many associations.
Best wishes.
