This is a sampling question.
Consider that you may be looking at a bunch of well-educated parents choosing homeschooling over extra income.
I bet they're not choosing to homeschool kids with whom they have a bad relationship, don't understand, can't motivate...
Increasing the sample could produce much different results.
Admittedly salaries for public school teachers are pretty bad. There's no FAANG school with tricky interview questions and starting salaries double of what other schools are paying. I wish there were. Then you might see those 10x teachers choosing "teacher" as their profession.
- troupe 4y agoI would agree that "average parent" is not the same set as "average homeschool parent." If you are saying that the "average homeschool parent I know" is better educated and better off financially than the "average homeschool parent," that is possible, but given the diverse range of homeschool parents I know across the country, probably not as likely as you would think.
