East central Iowa | Pvafarm - 4/6/2020 06:57 Damn, I thought you found an Onion article. Well if certain folks continue to push an anti formal education for all this is where we are going to end up. How the hell can someone make the jump from electronic transmission to virus is beyond me, let alone large enough groups to do this damage. Pretty sad people are this stupid - The home-educated typically score 15 to 30 percentile points above public-school students on standardized academic achievement tests. (The public school average is the 50th percentile; scores range from 1 to 99.) A 2015 study found Black home school students to be scoring 23 to 42 percentile points above Black public school students (Ray, 2015).
- Home school students score above average on achievement tests regardless of their parents’ level of formal education or their family’s household income.
- Whether home school parents were ever certified teachers is not related to their children’s academic achievement.
- Degree of state control and regulation of homeschooling is not related to academic achievement.
- Home-educated students typically score above average on the SAT and ACT tests that colleges consider for admissions.
- Home school students are increasingly being actively recruited by colleges.
