Please, there was a boat load of research 10 years ago when I started homeschooling and public schooling, and I am sure it has just gotten larger since.
BTW, my very average and sinking, and my very poor performing elementary school students were given a chance to excel when I took them out of school.....One graduated high school with his associates degree in biology, the following year helped write Microsofts gaming guide for one of their most popular games and this year will graduate from college and go on to grad school, his brother is doing very well at Juilliard.
Many poorly performing students who do not fit into a one size fits all education are getting a chance at a real life by home schooling.
Oops: when I started homeschooling about homeschooling and public schooling

What? You don't have a sense of humor? Why in the world would someone go to a frat party to research social skills?
