Their bias is for public schools, and they are threatened by homeschooling (why shouldn't they be when the average high school-diplomaed mom can achieve ten times what most public school teachers can achieve, in terms of actually educating children).

Once again, this is opinion. It isn't scientific fact.

Dear SALChamps03,

Yes, I exaggerate when I say "10 times."

However, homeschoolers, statistically, are far more successful at educating children than public school teachers. They have higher standardized testing scores, much higher rates of high school or equivalent completion/graduation, and higher rates of college attendance. Even though homeschooling families have lower median incomes than non-homeschooling families.

The typical homeschooling mom (who typically has only a high school diploma) does a better job of educating children than the typical public school teacher.
