Agree
Make home schoolers meet the same standards a public school must meet. If you don't, your kid gets placed in public school
Public school standards suck and home schooled kids generally do better.
it is public schools which should be elevated to a higher standard
If public school is so bad, homeschool should have no problem meeting basic standards
As opposed to seeing the results which clearly shows home schooled kids do better. When the results speak for themselves AND THEY DO the problem is with the standards which others wish to impose.
Homeschooled kids do better? Why do homeschooler continue to propagate this lie? For every kid that wins the national spelling bee or geography bee, there is another kid who was homeschooled because momma and baby daddy got tired of getting phone calls from the school telling them their little bastard ditched school again and they are going to lock the parents up for truancy. That kid never gets tested and never shows up in the stats because they never graduate.
What bs lol.
Of homeschooled children, 66.7 percent have been found to graduate from a four-year college, whereas those who went to a public school had a 57.5 percent graduation rate.(1)The finding came as a result of a 2009 University of St. Thomas study that analyzed homeschool students' academics versus those in more traditional educational systems. Not only was there a higher college graduation rate, but compared to public, private and Catholic schooling, those who were homeschooled were found to have the highest GPA and also outperformed in college preparedness tests for reading, science and English.(2)
Homeschooled children have higher graduation rates, more social prowess
Yes. 66.7% of those who actually bothered to take the entrance exams and go to college. What percentage of all home schooled children does that represent?
