my siblings are like this. I'm embarrassed to admit to it, but they run around telling other people that their public education was shit and being homeschooled is so superior lol. i don't understand it other than maybe they're coping. I've worked hard to overcome being homeschooled and actively try to educate myself.
Some public schools absolutely are shit. And we've got a wealth of propaganda invested in selling "education as a luxury service" rather than a public utility.
The marketing strategy of homeschool sellers is to convince people that working with your PTA is a waste of time and only you know how to adequately teach your kids.
Ideally, education isn't some singular struggle, but a group effort. I've learned more and faster in small groups with a talented TA and enthusiastic professor than in any independent study.
