Statistics are easily found on the comparison of homeschooled children to public education children by going to the the Home School Legal Defense Association webiste.

I have worked in the public schools, and I support a parents right to home school their children. However I think it would be a disaster if public schools were done away with. I would estimate that 50%-70% percent of the kids would never see the inside of any school building because parents either wouldn't budget their money(spend it on drugs or something else instead) or would just not care.

Now I have only work in inner-city environments, one's that weren't that bad. I do not know how a suburban school population would be. One thing I am sure of from my experiences in education is that number one predictor of success in the public school's is parental involvement.

It's time we stopped them from taking the former as well.
