This is a statistics observation, not a statement for or against any particular form of education.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If the homeschooler has more time, it means the institutionalized child is wasting precious time out of his life by being herded about like cattle in his school, and on buses.

When I drive by a school playground, I am reminded of herds of sheep. When I see kids on a school bus, I think cattle truck.

“If the homeschooler has more time, it means the institutionalized child is wasting precious time out of his life by being herded about like cattle in his school, and on buses.”

The point is that winning the spelling be takes hard work and single-minded focus over a period of time. This requirement self-selects for a higher homeschool population.

“institutionalized”, “cattle”, “sheep” - a bit harsh in your description, in my opinion.
