Home schoolers out-perform their public school peers by 30 to 37 percentile points across the subjects on standardize achievement exams. Studies show that teacher certification for home schooling parents has little effect on the child s learning. The higher a parent s education, the better the public student s achievements. Studies show that racial segregation is rarely the reason that American parents are selecting home education as an alternative to public education. Also, Dr. Ray s studies show that minority families who themselves have selected home education have children who do as well as whites in student achievements.
Studies show that family income level has no impact on a child s achievements in home schooling.
That s the question the reader must answer. Home schoolers are involved in many social activities outside the home, including community as well as religious events. The average home schooler is involved in over five activities outside the home. The present design of the educational system of America does not incorporate the best interest of the family. The push for earlier entrance into formal education is actually detrimental to the desire and ability of the child to accomplish learning in the future.
