Well you get different stats every time... I don't always read the same numbers for how well homeschooling parents are educated, for exampleYou don't need a mother that is well educated to get great results you need a mother that is dedicated to get them. Kids begin teaching themselves when they realize that you are following instructions they begin to realize that they can follow those same instruction, creating a student that is able to learn on his own. A much desired trait in collage!
Well I agree. My mother didn't know anything about calculus and intro physics so she threw the textbooks at my head and here I am now, halfway through physics graduate school. I don't know what Pete picked up from my rabid ramblings, but
my suggestion is, that too often the popular press discredits and demonizes the homeschooling movement...
As I said, I do have problems with homeschooling. But I don't want anybody else to criticize it. Particularly outsiders.
