“Oh, please. Homeschooling works well for some kids, poorly for others. The homeschooled kids I knew were not especially well prepared for college either.”

How many students were in your personal sample of home educated students? One?

I don’t see the need to malign other educational options, either. Experience has shown that the government schools do an exceptional job of maligning themselves.

Five or six. About the same as anyone else's anecdotal argument. (Which is why anecdotal arguments are suspect - unfortunately, they are what the HS partisans rely on.)

Baloney. A lot of good kids graduate public school well-prepared for college and make something of themselves. You just don't hear about them, and no one trumpets "ANOTHER REASON TO PUBLIC SCHOOL" whenever something goes right.
