I view public schooling very negatively, due to its utilization of the prussian school system, placing an emphasis on obedience rather than understanding, the Rockerfeller's didn't send their kids to public schools, despite practically being the architects of it.
I was forntunate enought to have gone to a Montessori school for elementary and middle school. It has its benefits and detractions, the biggest benefit being the mobility granted and self-direction it teaches students.
Although I did well in High School, and am currently in college, I must say that I don't care for academia. I enjoy learning, with it being a hobby of mine, I do feel that school impedes on that hobby, and the time needed for it. I attribute my affinity for self-teaching to my time spent in montessori.
If I become a father, I'd like to homeschool my children (assuming I have a remote job that allows me to dedicate time), homeschooling not only allows kids to become proficient while not being mentally draining, it allows them to be much healthier, being less confining.
