I am a sophomore in high school that has been homeschooled my whole life. So far, I can tell you that it has affected me most in my time managment skills. Being homeschooled, your schedule is not rigid like most public/private schools. This can make it very difficult to adjust to learn how to manage your time later (like, in high school) when it has a BIG impact on your grades and your life.
Also, homeschooling can sometimes, in my case, keep a kid REALLY sheltered depending on your homeschooling style. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it can be a big culture shock when "homeschooler meets world," so to speak.
Lastly, homeschooling often secludes a child. Imagine, during the day, they child is at home. If you're not involved in any homeschool groups, this can be lonely for a child.
There are positive things about homeschooling too!
Homeschooling is a great prepeeration for college (so I've been told by friends now in college) because your child will learn how to be independent with his/her schoolwork.
Also, flexibility is another favored perk of homeschooling for a lot of families.
I hope this helps! Please keep in mind that this is just my personal experience, so these opinions may not be shared by anyone else.

Can you teach your own kids like homeschooling?
Of course you can. You just have to run it by the school district in the area and make sure that the local/state government knows that you're homeschooling and not keeping your kid from school. There are homeschool programs where you can go every year to get the curriculum and whatnot. If you know any homeschoolers, then talk to them about it. Homeschooling can be a great thing for kids who are struggling or just don't like school. Just make sure that they have friends and a social life. Sometimes homeschooled kids end up going to school later and are too shy to make friends, or they're physically awkward. Include some Phys Ed if you want to homeschool to maintain coordination and balance and whatnot.
