I think there's a number of social skills which are benefited by being part of a collective education system which better prepares children for the reality of the working world. I wonder about the effects of being isolated and not being immersed in a competitive environment. There's also the issue of the instructional skills required by a tutor. Ideally, the tutor would be a trained professional with the knowledge of instructional methods. The problem lays with the accepted standards of teachers and administrators in schools. It's concerning that a child spends twelve years at school and can barely read or write when they leave.
