Do you think it will work and have a lower drop out rate or will the rate of drop outs increase with all the interferences in the home?

As an expecting father I've already found myself wondering if I'll want to home-school my child. Being a product of both private and public high-school education it kind of seems to me that the system is just broken at this point. Maybe I'm overly-optimistic envisioning a place where kids enjoyed learning in a safe environment but that is really what I'm hoping for my child.
On the other hand will I have any other choice than to send my child to school? If at that point in time either myself or my wife are not able to stay home my options will be limited.
There are obvious benefits to the social interaction public/private schools offer but I'm not sure if the associated risk is worth it.
