Re: education
It you want to make your case, you would tell me about the admission rates for home schooled children.
Because nobody seems to have counted! I just wasted an hour of my life trying to find this out, but cannot find any sign that anyone has figured out a way to compare the proportion of home-schooled students that attend college with the general population. How hard can this be, am I missing something? I could understand if no one cared, but there has been a lot of research conducted on homeschooling - just none to adress this specific question.
Things I have discovered - there do not seem to be big differences on most measures of average academic performances between those schooled at home and those schooled at institutions, but the homeschoolers have greater variance. The education level of the parents has a much bigger impact on the final outcome, which makes sense.
