If you have enough money, definitely either home-school your kids or send them to a very-very-very good private school featuring extremely positive reviews, high university admission rates, etc. School can be one of the worst experiences a person will ever go through, and can virtually break a person sensitive enough. Do not send your kids in a random public school, unless you absolutely cannot help it. I would even take a huge loan just to not subject my kids to such risk.
Socialisation is better done outside school, where there is no strong pressure to conform and obey some adult in front of class.

Just because many public schools are bad does not mean that they are all bad. Socialization in school can also be a good thing. I had a positive experience in the public school I attended from both the teachers and students. However my school was probably better then the average school in my country. I think it is more situational and a diversity of options should be encouraged. But having both privet schools and homeschooling as an option is no excuse for having poor public schools because in many places with low income families public schools are the only option.

The system itself is bad, where everyone is put into a box of rules and forced to interact within those rules, with no choice on who to interact with and how. If you are a conformist by nature, then that is fine, but if you are not... Public schools are infamous for having very rigid curriculum and very little choice on the students' part, which is awful, considering that real life is all about personal choices in the sea of options.
A public school can be very-very good in terms of what it teaches, and you can get lucky and get into a school full of amazing students and teachers - but that is not something I would count on, and you are still going to be peer-pressured hard. This is what I dislike about the Japanese system the most: the actual education they receive is of a very high quality, far above anything you can find on the West - however, the system is also very rigid and leaves little time for extracurricular activities, so, while in terms of your knowledge you come out on top of the competition, your personal development suffers tremendously, and you are strongly pressured to become a perfect citizen, with all the downsides coming with it.
If there is any way at all to get a more flexible and personal education, one should go for it. Of course, if a random public school is the only option, then, well, you have to do what you have to do.

I am aware that American and Australian families who have every access to local public schools, are opting out because the system is very much as MayCaesar describes it, offering poor teacher quality, poor discipline, teachers spending 50% of lesson time trying to bring orderliness into classrooms, a cripling peer-group bullying culture and generally anything but a focus on learning. This is not the system which was originally built and in place for centuries. The greater cause of the breakdown is a dumbing-down of content with fake history, fake science and fake "social justice" and "humanities" subjects replacing genuine content which educates and provides actual knowledge. The other breakdown is a total lack of discipline. Learning requires self-discipline and teacher discipline, but all gone out the window now.
The public school system is a shambles. Parents who cannot afford a private education for their children have no other option, besides home schooling, if they really do care about their children receiving a quality education. It's no mean task to take on educating children from home. It is extremely demanding and the parents who select this option can only be considered as highly courageous, dedicated and loving parents. To take it away from them would be a shocking demonstration of State bullying. The only solution is to rid the system of those in the hierarchy who seek to destroy our once brilliant culture of excellence in all things.
For any hope of improvement the removal of those who have systematically dismantled, brick by brick, a once solid foundation is mandatory, their intent to deliberately destroy the supremacy of our Western culture. It's not by accident. It's deliberate and what better place to start than with our education system by making our kids the dumb adults of tomorrow, unable to compete on the world stage in industry, trade, business or science or academic excellence of any kind, etc. We only have to take a cursory glance at the appalling university appointments to see the ignorance already inherent in them. Places which were once respected as institutions of learning, are no longer, because of the low quality of lecturers. They are ignoramuses with fake credentials.
The same vested interests have also systematically attacked the very system which provided the Western culture with its moral foundation and moral compass - Christianity. The dismantling of our education syllabi, of our teacher training institutions, our academia, our science establishment, our moral and family values has been a long and sustained infiltration by a silent enemy of stealth, an undeclared politic which works behind the scenes and denies its own presence and existence, working through a clendistine Agenda, our silent enemy of stealth - Marxism, the religion of atheism.
