LOL That's because they are. Why are the spelling bee champs always homeschoolers?
But don't believe me. Look up the performance of homeschoolers for yourself. I'm not going to do your homework for you.
Why not try it yourself, and compare? We've seen both sides with our two daughters. Both began homeschooled. We spent about two hours with our kids each day. After 6th grade, only an hour a day, mainly for math. My 17-year-old has worked on her own the last couple of years. She just got an academic scholarship to a government college. She's never set foot in a government school.
My other daughter is mildly autistic. She's done fine academically, but my three teacher SILs convinced my wife to put her in government school, for "socialization" and the great programs that they supposedly have for autistic kids.
Well, after several sessions with Wellesley and Smith-educated special ed teachers, an individualized plan was drawn up for my daughter. To make a long story short, her "special program" is a joke. Her classes are a joke. The whole thing is a joke. When she comes home, the three of us laugh about her day. My wife doesn't appreciate it, but what can you say about an English class where the students read 18 pages per week? She did double that per day when she was homeschooled.
Teachers pretend to teach, students pretend to learn, and parents pretend that the teachers are teaching and the students are learning. This is why the school monster is impervious to reform or elimination.
But don't believe me. Look up the performance of homeschoolers for yourself. I'm not going to do your homework for you.
Never denied that home schoolers on the whole are above public schoolers on the whole. You've completely misstated my point, I believe it's intentional and that means you're dishonest.
It's a rare person on this forum who home schools to say that their child is "average" or below average. Among home schooled kids some have to be below.
