My ex was raised in the FLDS. They were taught to perform fellatio on bananas in school. Notice I didn't say homeschool because they set up their own private schools. Even so - she could read. Despite this, public schools have well-documented results by the score: https://www.nuroretention.com/blog/officials-80-percent-of-recent-nyc-high-school-graduates-cannot-read https://www.nuroretention.com/blog/officials-80-percent-of-r... https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=121374125 https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=121374... https://foxbaltimore.com/news/project-baltimore/baltimore-city-student-graduates-without-learning-read-patterson-high-school-project-baltimore-debora-prestileo https://foxbaltimore.com/news/project-baltimore/baltimore-ci... https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/i-couldnt-even-read-the-diploma-now-he-struggles-to-learn-what-schools-didnt-teach-him/2018/01/18/76fb7cc8-fc58-11e7-a46b-a3614530bd87_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/i-couldnt-even-read-the... https://phdessay.com/can-illiterate-students-graduate-from-high-school/ https://phdessay.com/can-illiterate-students-graduate-from-h... https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2016/11/01/hiding-in-plain-sight-the-adult-literacy-crisis/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2016/11/... https://www.highschoolcube.com/the-high-rate-of-functional-illiteracy-among-high-school-graduates-in-the-united-states/ https://www.highschoolcube.com/the-high-rate-of-functional-i... And the list goes on. Several of these articles cite a rate of about 20% of adults in the US being functionally illiterate, with about one third unable to read above a 5th-grade level. If homeschooling produces better results than that, then I'm all for it. Again: Kids need individual attention which they can get more readily in a homeschool environment. In large institutional public education systems, they just get "passed along" as they may be one of 30+ students in a class, and one of 5+ classes a teacher has. Public school teachers don't have enough time in a week to spend one-on-one time with each of their students. In the 90s my high school had class sizes of 35+ and I'm sure it's worse now in some schools.
