My son has taken up my thinking about the difference between anecdotes and research studies, and he actually mentioned the issue of successful co-workers he has who are public school alumni in another part of his email to me. But I shouldn't have to quote his whole personal email to make the point for onlookers that OF COURSE some alumni of public schools turn out to be very successful, and they are much more numerous than people who have been homeschooled. But there may still be an advantage for homeschooling at the margin, simply because it is generally more flexible and responsive to individual learner needs than mass classroom education.
