I would expect home schooling to be more concerned with beliefs and public schooling to be more concerned with truth because it's always done for personal reasons in contradiction to normative reality. I suppose I should feel reassured that home schooling does not challenge any truths? Here in the US too many years ago, my personal experience with friends that were home-schooled up until 7th or 9th grades in school was that they were: - nice, but not well-socialized (and high school was a terrible time to start socializing: having no established friends when everyone is in cliques!) - smart and interested, but had gaps in their academic knowledge beyond math and English (science, social science, the arts) - curious (not stunted by public schooling - a plus!), but less likely to question/distrust things, including other kids - often more religious than the rest of us, but with less exposure to different faiths
