It doesnt work that way.

As a public school teacher in an excellent district, I see a time and a place for both. ShaniFaye is right, it takes a LOT of work and commitment to home school! As long as you work it, the research is very positive in support of homeschooling. However, I have many a student come to my classroom from a homeschool situation in which the parents didn't do their part. These children are behind academically and socially. If you choose to homeschool, please do it right. Set aside "school time" daily and enroll your children in outside activities (such as gymnastics, soccer, etc.)
