I will have to disagree if we are talking about the population at large.
Individuals who use more advanced information, it's probably true.
A lot of people still believe old wife tales and things that have been proven untrue.
I'm talking about the US at large. The majority of the population uses far more advanced information... and a lot more of it than folks in the 1700's
I know you agree on that but I get super annoyed at detractors, it makes me boil.
No one has presented anything that says a child, educated at home, is of a lesser quality.
I posted some a long time ago. I'd have to go look for it. It wasn't conclusive from what I recall. Methodologically, there were a lot of flaws. Just like in schools, I think some children, educated at home do very well, and some do not. I have my own reasons, from observations and from my overall theory of what types of education schools provide that lead me to not be a fan of homeschooling. From what I remember of the data I produced, the results were inconclusive.
