Quote:I'm not assuming that at all.  I'm saying that most of those studies mainly include wealthy families. Some people can home teach, while others most certainly cannot.  I'm saying that the studies don't include the full range of home schooled students.  If it did, we'd probably see a wider variety of results there.

 

 

The funny thing is, all of the people I know, save one family, who home school are definitely NOT wealthy. They're not poor or low income either. They just have different priorities. They believe the education of their kids and their future is more important than the newest iPad or car or fashionable clothes, etc., and THAT'S where they put their money. The only ones I know who HS and are 'wealthy', and by wealthy I mean they really lack for nothing..... their kids are doing the worst. I explain why in another post here. 

 

I do agree it's not for everyone. As much as I would have benefited from it personally, my mom was not the home schooling type and had 5 kids to look after. I was the only one who would have needed it, but I think 24/7 around each other would have been bad news. Lol.
