I think home schooling is okay. We moved out of DC so our kids could go to the local public schools. If I were different I might have elected to stay in DC and homeschool though.
My big issue with homeschooling is I've seen some parents with atrocious spelling/grammar issues that homeschool. I just don't see how an adult that can't write well can teach their children to write well. This, of course, extrapolates to other subjects as well. But if the parent/s are competent in general studies (perhaps an exam to prove they aren't imbeciles?) then whatever they want to teach their kids is fine by me.
I think a good secondary education require more subject competence in a host of fields than most adults would retain into adulthood. So whoever tries to home school should consider what more professional resource can be bring to bear than they themselves.
