I think it’s fine as long as there’s intense socialization - after school programs, sports, volunteering, going to the park, play dates. As others have mentioned, don’t force it, but make sure it’s an option.
I think homeschooling should end at some point in high school, as colleges like to see how a student compares to the rest of the student body (I would advise my own children to start as freshmen as to avoid any future isolation).
I do wish I was homeschooled in elementary school. I asked to be homeschooled. I was bullied and abused. Middle school was okay. High school was wonderful and I’m glad I was not homeschooled at that time.
I do not have children due to my health issues. If I had children and no health issues, I think I would give my children the option of homeschooling or public/private school, as well as the option to alternate as much as is reasonable/allowed.
