Only 16 states require the ACT only. That's still a lot of states left over. And the SAT as far as I know is self selected, and the most widely used by colleges.Do Homeschool Kids Really Rate Better on Standardized Tests?I don't know, honestly I use YouTube A LOT. I pretty much installed a French drain around the house thanks to YouTube, as well as refinished the basement and added a new room and bathroom. Almost anything is in our grasp. But there is something about mellenials (age wise I am one) I guess a lack of independence that makes them slow learners and afraid to try new things. We've had to fire a few nurses in the past couple years for that reason, and it's a trend I nor any of the other staff has seen until receantly.Why do first worlders have a problem with education, in the first world? What can you not learn, "on YouTube"?Which link? The study is there, if you have information otherwise by all means post it.OK. I thought you were ignorant, but now I know you are just stone-cold stupid.
What is the source of your link? Think that organization is just a little bit biased? It is well known for cherry picking data to make homeschooling look appealing so they can increase their membership and collect more money! It's a scam!
Higher GPAs? Who grades the school work? No bias there!
Please! You are losing what little self-respect you had to start with.
Your pathetic amateurish arguments are boring as hell!
What is your education level? Dropout? GED? Anyone with a higher level could put up a better argument than yours.
And it's college GPAs that are higher. Why would I refer to high school GPAs? Seriously ask yourself that. Something you should've asked before you said that outloud. Even if I was, for whatever crazy reason, talking about high school students, the study was looking at standardized test scores, such as the SAT, ACT, etc.
Education is bachelors in nursing, I'm moving on to law school, probably do night school and continue working.
Again by ALL MEANS be my guest, post your conflicting data, or just keep using ad hominem attacks. Up to you, it's a free country.
You need to learn to read your own links. Those test scores are NOT the SAT and ACT.
From YOUR link:
"the California Achievement Test, the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and the Stanford Achievement Test "
I swear you are as sharp as a beach ball!
If you cannot distinguish a conflict of interest in the HSLDA promoting home schooling and then cooking up data to support it, you are one confused individual.
Again, from YOUR link:
"The study, commissioned by the Home School Legal Defense Association"
I cannot post conflicting data because there is no conflicting data.
Home school students are not required to take standardized tests like normal public school students and they are not required to take the SAT or ACT like many public school students.
Did you look up self-selection bias yet?
From your link:
"But all SAT and ACT takers are self-selecting regardless of how they were schooled."
Bald-faced lie. In many states, public schools students are required to take these tests, so if they decide they don't want to go to college, they simply "Christmas-tree" the answer sheet and make public school student averages plummet!
HSLDA Study
There is your biased source again!
Your links are trash!
And even then the college GPAs?
Not sure why I'm still having this conversation.
Those 16 states outnumber all of the home schooled students by a large factor. Did you ever pass any type of statistics class above high school level? If you did, you forgot everything.
