My homeschool kids got a far better education than I ever got from the public school. In the 8th grade, they both scored above the national average for the average college bound senior. I MADE SURE that they understood everything in a topic, particularly Math, before they moved on. That's where my education fell apart. Yes, there are some things that a homeschool can not offer that a private or GOOD public school can, (I know some will disagree with me) BUT the one-on-one education can't be beat for the foundation.

"particularly Math"

Very few people are competent in mathematics. Engineers are pretty safe, anyone else is iffy.

I majored in Mathematics in my first year of U. Thirty years later my niece asked me for help in introductory Calculus and she made a fool of me.

Don't fool yourself, unless you are an engineer you can't homeschool science and mathematics.

Home schooling will not produce the next generation of scientists and engineers unless the parents are scienctists and engineers.
