For years and years it has been homeschoolers who have had to justify their decision to homeschool. Now that there are enough adults to study we now know that children who have been homeschooled for all ( or nearly all) of their childhood are fairing far better than their institutionalized contemporaries.
Formerly homeschooled adults have greater social participation in the community; vote more regularly; volunteer more; have fewer divorces, have higher academic attainment; and are far, far, far more likely to be active and faithful to the faith of their fathers. It is almost non-existent for a formerly homeschooled adult (who has been entirely or nearly entirely homeschooled ) to be in prison or on welfare. If you do not believe me check out the Homeschooled Legal Defense Association.
Homeschoolers have absolutely nothing to justify! Even parents with the most minimal education are doing a better job than the government schools on average. It is the parent who decides to institutionalize their children for their schooling who needs to do the explaining.
Are there successful institutionalized children? Yes, of course there are! There are **always** outliers in every research study.
Parents who would deliberately poison their children are abusers. Abusers on this horrific level are likely neither homeschooling or institutionalizing their children for their schooling but have their children hidden away in a basement or closet somewhere.
