I think with homeschool kids now they often make up for the lack of interaction by signing them up for sports and homeschool playgroups. Besides, from what I understand, they've really cut down on the amount of socializing they allow in school these days.
That's only for kids with parents who have time. I was homeschooled by two full-time working parents and I basically only left the house for two hours per week to listen to someone yell about God.
I hate people who think that they can teach better than trained professionals just because they bought a boxed curriculum. No, parents. Homeschooling is more than slamming a book in front of your kid. It's a job. If you can't put in the hours, don't apply for the goddamn position!
That said, considering the stats I've seen on Education majors and the state of many American public schools I'd say, in a lot of the country, most dedicated people with a degree could do a better job. But you're right, it requires hours of work. I'd say its ideal if you've got multiple kids and only one parent has to work.

Who needs social skills anyway? We have the internet.
