SOME homeschool kids are doing very well and SOME are basically getting nothing from their homeschools.
It basically depends on the parents doin gthe job well.
Maine is one of those places where homeschooling your kids is a right.
Mixed results is what we seem to be getting
We homeschooled our son for some subjects (basically the humanities) and for others he attended high school (math and science).
Guess which subjects he still excels in? The humanities, of course.
But that's probably not entirely fair to the school, either since he is intellectually given to getting humanities and like most people, really has to work to get math and sciences.
Homeschooling should be a RIGHT, folks.
Absolutely, not everyone that homeschools does a great job. But speaking generally, homeschooled kids do better on standardized tests.
I've been homeschooling my kids for 4 years and I've been very happy with the results. It should be right.
As to them being socially inept -- there could be a few, but most of the ones we see are well-socialized, and able to speak comfortably to people of all ages, not just kids their age.
There is that bald-faced lie again! When are you homeschooling advocates going to educate yourself in statistics so that you can see how wrong you are?
Please tell me which standardized test was used to test EVERY home-schooled student and EVERY public school student so that a valid comparison could be made. Until you can do that, you are merely pissing in the wind!
The only liar here is you.
Now...watch me bury you again, you dunce.
"Research shows that home-schooled students are certainly capable of adjusting to the college curriculum academically – home-schooled students generally score slightly above the national average on both the SAT and the ACT and often enter college with more college credits. Studies have also shown that on average home-schooled students have higher grade point averages in their freshman years and have higher graduation rates than their peers."
Do home-schoolers do better in college than traditional students?
In your face, boyyyyeeeeeeee!!!!!!
