Yes, I am biased but I think little of the South African 'government' school system. I think our minister of education agrees with me as her children are in a 'private' school.
But I also believe that, regardless of the government schooling status/standard, home schooling is the superior route to take for the child. This is the way nature intended it.
The child needs to learn to socialize with all ages, something formal schools suppresses. Most home school children, I met, will socialize with the elderly, the toddler etc. with the same ease as with their own age.
The home schooled kids I know, have a thirst for knowledge, something schools manage to suppress efficiently as soon as possible. The set curriculum leaves very little room or time for diversions.
