Those homeschool students are the product of the more educated parents, this SHOULD rate higher. Also, were his results randomized or were the homeschool students selected? The source is the HSLDA which automatically makes it garbage.Home schooling turns out weird kids. Most parents don't have the knowledge to teach their kids everything. And I hate to think what YOU'RE teaching your children, Polechik.I have said that unless we wrest control of education back from the Democrat/Liberal government schools, as earlier Republicans pried their slaves away from them, the nation has no future.
But....I couldn't see any possible way to do this........

"Coronavirus has parents looking at homeschooling
With the COVID-19 virus closing schools in China, South Korea, Italy, and the United States, parents are having to make a sudden and unexpected change in their children’s education. Most often, it means shifting education into the home.
This learning at home looks different in different places. In Hong Kong, the government ordered 800,000 students to take what the Wall Street Journal calls “a crash course in digital learning.”
In New York City, parents are already seeking out homeschooling resources that fit their children and their families in preparation for any school closings.
The freedom of parents to choose the kind of education that’s best for each child is something we’ve been advocating for more than 35 years.
Homeschool grads go to college, join the military, launch their own businesses, and start families. They serve in soup kitchens, run for office, fight fires, and give back to their communities in many other ways.
In fact, more than 1.7 million students are homeschooling in the U.S., according to the National Center for Education Statistics.If both parents are working, it is still possible to make homeschooling work through options such as alternating work schedules or one parent working from home. It takes creativity, commitment, and even saying, “No,” to some opportunities. But without the restriction of a traditional school-day schedule, families are able to carve out time together and even flex their homeschool schedule along with variable work schedules (such as healthcare providers or cross-country transport)."

I understand how important it is to simpleminded individuals like you to parrot the indoctrination, but perhaps no one ever told you that, no matter the metric, homeschooled students outperform your sort, the government schooled sort.
Standardized test results for 16,000 home educated children, grades K-12, were analyzed in 1994 by researcher Dr. Brian Ray. He found the nationwide grand mean in reading for homeschoolers was at the 79th percentile; for language and math, the 73rd percentile. This ranking means home-educated students performed better than approximately 77% of the sample population on whom the test was normed. Nearly 80% of homeschooled children achieved individual scores above the national average and 54.7% of the 16,000 homeschoolers achieved individual scores in the top quarter of the population, more than double the number of conventional school students who score in the top quarter. 1
A Harvard University (MA) admissions officer said most of their home-educated students "have done very well. They usually are very motivated in what they do." Results of the SAT and SAT II, an essay, an interview, and a letter of recommendation are the main requirements for home-educated applicants. "[Transcripts are] irrelevant because a transcript is basically a comparison to other students in the school."

I bet you wish your folks had loved you enough to take on the burden of homeschooling.
Perhaps there was a reason why they thought better of it......what does your psychiatrist say?
Every study shows home school students out perform your product in every category.
And....speaking of 'garbage'....
.... those who have seen your posts would agree, I'm sure, that your removal from the education system would be best for all concerned.
Do it for the nation.
