From what I can tell on these threads, Homeschooling is a crap shoot. The parents may be morons, in which case the kid doesn't stand a chance. I mentioned Piaget to one homeschool proponent and they had no idea what I was talking about.

IMO public schools are pretty much doomed. People have written enough and said enough in regards to their being "beyond repair" that they will soon be beyond repair. At that point education in this country devolves into chaos and one of the last reference points that many people had to their communities (besides church) ceases to matter.

The available statistics would show you that homeschooling, as a whole, is a very successful venue.

Here is a link that will point you to quite a number of studies on the success of homeschooling.
