The $900 billion per year U.S. military budget

Anecdotes are not evidence. I know some home schooled kids that did fairly well and I know others that dont know much other than the bible. Neither of these examples are evidence of anything.

These statistics have no bearing on the quality of homeschooling. It cherry picks those that went to college. Those would be the higher performers. Now lets find stats on how many actually go to college or test scores of all homeschooled students compared to traditionally schooled kids.This stuff you posted is worthless in supporting your assertions.

quote:

---

The homeschooled students came in with a higher ACT score (25.0 compared to 14.7).

Not correct. It is actually 26.5 compared to 25.0The author of the study himself warns people not to read to much into his study.

quote:

---

Still, the results should be carefully considered in regards to this particular institution as the study took place at one institution with a small sample size (N=76).

One or two students could have skewed the results. Sample size is way to small to make any conclusions whatsoever.
He tries to hide where the study was done, but his description matches perfectly with St. Thomas University in St Paul, MN where he is a professor. So these are not average students. St Thomas is a fairly exclusive Catholic University. Tuition is about $40,000 per year.
Tuition, net price and cost to go University of St ThomasLies, upon lies, upon bullshit.
