Home schooling is an extension of the misguided notion that "anyone can teach."

I haven't seen any stats on this, but I am of the impression that home-schooled children consistently score higher on SATs and other placement tests than children educated by public schools.

I think you are right but see homeschoolers tend not to vote Democrat or be PC in their thinking. Which is something the left cannot allow! Therefore it is imperative that the liberals quash the homeschool movement!

Consistently MUCH higher than public school student average. My oldest got a 1300 -- as an 8th-grader

What happens is homeschoolers can focus on reading, writing and math much more than public schools because we don't spend time on "diversity indoctrination"

In 1991, they scored 72 points higher on the SATs than did their public school peers.

I don't know how they scored for 1992 or 1993.

The proof is in the pudding since everyone in the education business is so enthralled with testing students.

Yes. From what I've read, home-schooled children score far higher.

While it isn't for everyone, for growing numbers it has presented a positive experience. Among other reasons to support it, it gives us more choices at a time when we are losing choices.

There are many things going on to make us more and more dependent on government.

Here are the ACT numbers for 2001 (the most recent I could find).

Home Schooled 22.7
All Students 21.0

Your definition of "teach" is different than their definition of "teach."

See "indoctrination."
