Socialization is broader than just between peers. It's how the individual develops a relationship to society as a whole. The public school system is the primary way the state socializes kids. You learn the difference between the public and private spheres (the school vs the family), how the two relate, and how they relate to the broader community. Some are better served by it than others but on the whole it's a very good thing.
Yeah I can't say I ever experienced the values of the state at school, unless the values of the state are "survival of the fittest" and "might makes right".
You believe in a false god you call "the state" and "society". These things don't exist, only people exist.
Public schools are operated with the purpose of breaking the spirit of the children of the underclass so that they become obedient workers or soldiers. That's why the education part is so lacking and the obedience training so focused. Children are schooled in having no liberty of time, no liberty of movement and no liberty of thought. Perfect for a soldier or industrial or corporate worker.
On the contrary a successful adult is characterized by having liberty of her time, liberty of her movement and liberty of her thought.
The purpose of state schools is to create failed human beings, because they are needed to serve the rulers.
Schools are specifically made to break communities by separating children by age, leaving their main influence to be a few teachers, instead of having dynamic interactions with adults of all different types.
No institution has been more damaging to humanity than state schools.

They aren't the state's kids. The school can help parents in things like socialisation, as far as they deem it appropriate, but I think the state raising kids is totally the wrong mindset.
