I went mainly to ps as well, and turned out ok. But I graduated from hs in 1986. Howard Zinn was not in my rural school then, but I assure you the indoctrination is everywhere now, thanks to Øbama and his common core crap.
There are many homeschooling communities that offer all sorts of social interaction opportunities for kids. Plus, parents should think critically about what a properly socialized student means. Look at history. It’s only in the last 100 or so years of humanity that children have been segmented off by age group. Socializing with 35 4th graders is not as optimal as socializing with a mixed age group, with littles to mentor, and older kids modeling the growing up process.
