It seems like the research suggests that homeschooled students do better than public school taught students, but I wonder if there is a standard definition for homeschooled student? I'm imagining a parent with a small chalkboard and three children learning their ABC's and I don't think that's it. I could teach my kid computer science and math, but if they needed AP English or Chemistry, I'd probably need some help. Also, after reading 'educated', I wonder how the research may be biased towards parents who are comfortable enough with the system to allow their kids to be included in the research.
- fullshark 4y agoSorry I didn't mean a motivated homeschooling parent in my example, I meant calling into a classroom zoom meeting, which is what school was for the majority of children for 3-12 months during the pandemic. I ultimately believe school quality is largely driven by teacher quality, and some homeschooling parents are high quality teachers, and therefore can deliver good results for their children.
