Sorry I have no links handy but i will pass on a perosnal observation.
I recently completed this summers Vacation Bible School sessions at my Church.
I had 10-25 kids in the groups I dealt with over the course of 10 weeks.
Keep in miond we are talking about Bible vacation School and not camp or a general social gathering.
Now I thought all the kids I dealt with were good and smart kids. But ithin the group I had 2 home schoolers and without a doubt they were more mature, more settled, quicker to answer and be right then the rest of the group which would be Public school kids.
Not a scientific study I understand but it is not the first peroanl experience bewtween public schoolers and home schoolers that I have had and always the home schoolers seen to ME to have the edge.......
I agree with you. The government is not good at doing anything. Schooling included. I’ve read studies that indicate what everyone already knows I just can’t find them.
Also, public teachers can’t get fired except by going through a lengthy bureaucratic process that takes forever.
I do think you are right.
