Do You Prefer Formal Education or Home Education?

I wonder how can parents educate their children at home. Aren't they buys enough with their nine to five job? Can they trust that they are educating their children in the right way? Isn't home education taking a big chunk out of education because it deprvies children from the class experience and from interacting with each other and listening to different points of view? Isn't part of education is advancing personal skills? Would home education affect the chances of finding jobs? Or do children learn bad habits in school?
Well, I trust formal education more. However, its always a personal choice. Please let me know which type of schooling do you prefer and why.

I prefer formal education or the school setting too for it is the traditional way of learning. But I have nothing against the home study program for it is the way some people need to continue their studies. I don't think home study program graduates affects finding a job. Because the talent and the knowledge are being hired for and not the name of the school they attended.

You do have a point, however, if I am an employer how can I trust that this person has the sufficient knoweldge to do the job. That's why accredtation is very important. For example, Harverd graduates do for sure get better jobs then graduates of lesser accredited universities. Thanks for the reply anyways :)
