Then why does every study show that homeschoolers do so much better on standardized tests (on average) than their peers in public school?

They don't if the comparison sample is correctly done.

Yes, the correct NEA way - tweak the variables nine ways to Sunday until you find the exact criteria that allows public school kids to show better results than home schooled children.

Adjust annually.
