This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Looks like the only successful kids graduating from public schools were homeschooled by their parents on the side.
Any success is despite public education, not because of it.
The only academically successful children I know are homeschooled ( even if they attend school.) This is true even for immigrants.
As you know, metmom, I have posting this for **years**. So?....If the only academically successful children are homeschooled perhaps, government schooling is a complete waste of money and always has been. Worse than money, it wastes a major portion of a person's life! Thirteen or more years is **more** than 10% of a person's expected life!
Over many years I have challenged posters on this site to provide links to studies that show how much is learned in the home as compared to material learned in the classroom. No Freeper ever has. I concluded that government schooling is a massively expensive system that was never tested for effectiveness.
