[quote=Anonymous]While many homeschooling parents are uneducated, it is a false assumption that all homeschooling parents are uneducated.

I happen to know several homeschooling families who are very educated who did so for other reasons.  For example, I have a friend who has both an BA and MA from JHU who homeschooled her children.  Two of them had severe allergies (one to peanuts) and after one episode where her eldest ended up in the hospital and the school clearly had no intention of enforcing the "no peanut rules", she decided that for the safety of her children, that they were going to be homeschooled.  And frankly, knowing her own education, she was significantly smarter than most of the teachers in the local school.  Her oldest two were completely homeschooled until college and her youngest was homeschooled until the older siblings went to college and then went to the local public school (the youngest did not have severe allergies).  Her three children are now adults who all ended up at top tier colleges and had very high standardized scores.
