The public schools don't have the cream of the crop because of privates. Homeschooling has more of a range of income than privates, but I don't think it includes the poor. So until homeschooling is actually measured by a test and factors in SES, I remain skeptical and I'm not even a proponent of public schools. I just don't think it's fair to categorize homeschooling as being better. From what I've seen both programs have allowed for kids to fall through the cracks on learning.

Because there are no minimum standards in public schools. Kids are graduating without being fluent in English, let alone mathematics and the sciences and arts or anything else. US education standards != European education standards.
