You mentioned that parents are surprised to find that their kids have a tighter bond with their classmates than they do their family, and add to that the kids that bring serious issues to their teachers instead of to their parents. Many girls feel more at ease approaching their teachers about their fears of puberty, etc, than they do their own mothers. I'm so thankful homeschooling is an option here in the USA. We that do homeschool have a great responsibility to keep it a form of higher education. There's always those families who give homeschooling a bad rep, and sadly, the media and government will pick up on those families, not the ones whose kids win the geography and spelling bees... Chiming in, great post!

Good grief if you want your kid to get a decent education in the public school you have to be involved. If you spent the time you are involved in public school affairs you could probably spend that time homeschooling and do a better job with your kids!
