Wonder what the literacy rate of people who are/were homeschooled is? I’d love to find that out...

I’m more interested to know how many are recent immigrants from south of the border.

I would say stats on homeschoolers would be about the same as normal students who attend public school because there are numerous homeschoolers who have parents that allow them to play the WII all day long. The students who don’t have active parents who push them in the homeschool curriculum would drop the average as well. I would guess that the smart homeschoolers would be as smart regardless of whether they went to public or private school too. Although, I would bet that private school kids would beat the homeschoolers and public students averages.

100%. The reason is not because the eduction is better (even though it usually is) but because the children have parents who are invested in their kids eduction.

Depends on the parents. Some parents do a great job of homeschooling; others, not so much...

Only thing is, you don't get the data (test scores etc) on all homeschoolers as you do with all public school students.
