There's no good methodology for discerning whether homeschooling is good or bad because there's no ethical way to construct any research that would be illuminating. It's an impenetrable nest of variables, confounds, and actors who are deeply invested in their side of the argument on all sides. As an American with American attitudes, I believe parents should have that right unless there's real neglect going on.
