They'd probably prefer spending time with kids their own age with similar interests, bonding over dissatisfaction with the unmotivated teachers. I had an awkward and unpopular adolescence, and even then I enjoyed the socialization I did get in public school much more than my brief stint with homeschooling.

Is school the only place where they can bond with other children?

Of course not, but is there another option with similar regularity and exposure to such a wide variety of people? It's a societal microcosm.
