The majority of homeschooling families that I know are very thoughtful and intentional in the schooling of their children.  Yes, I’ve seen a bad homeschooling result too, but the majority of the time I’ve seen it, it’s been done well.  [/quote]

Exactly. Homeschoolers that go to college do well on entrance exams and have a higher graduation rate. [/quote]

Those that go to college. Many don't [/quote]

You may be surprised to learn that homeschoolers actually have a higher rate of attending college than any other group of children. Homeschooled children attend college at a rate of 66.7% while traditional public-school children only attend college at 57.5%. In fact, some of the country’s best colleges like Dartmouth, Yale, and UC Berkeley are recruiting and accepting homeschoolers at a high rate.[/quote]

That's because they're are far fewer of them. so it doesn't take many of them going to college move the percentage up[/quote]

It also includes all the nutty religious communities like the Amish or Mennonites who home-school their kids and never ever expect them to go to college. Male or female its just not in their community ethic. Instead they give them a year at 18 to 'see the world' and let them realize how much their own community failed to integrate them so they go running back to the farms at absurdly high rates.
