Of course it's great for the kids in families where there is enough wealth for one parent, who is highly educated. The studies that claim homeschooling is better are of laughably poor quality in terms of basic research methodology, and make no effort to adjust for factors like socioeconomic conditions in the household or even the education level of the parents. Guess who funds most of the research into homeschooling? Homeschooling organizations. It gets worse. A lot of the studies compare tests in school that are standardized or written by professional educators...to tests produced and graded by the parent of the home-schooled kid: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/parenting-translator/202109/the-research-homeschooling https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/parenting-translator... Even Brian Ray's daughter says homeschooling doesn't work: https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/12/11/brian-ray-homeschool-student-outcomes/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/12/11/brian-ra... Things are even worse in religious private/charter schools. The vast majority of Yeshivas are turning out students who fail to meet New York's equivalency standards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Hasidic_education_controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Hasidic_education_con... That's impressive given religious schools don't have to accommodate special needs students (ranging from physical disabilities to learning disabilities) which are incredibly expensive, can boot out students who are simply difficult to teach, and can boot out students who have disciplinary issues, disrupting their peers. When religious schools that are allowed to cherrypick the cheapest-to-teach, brightest students end up producing kids who fail the floor (minimum state standards) that is astounding.
