They surveyed homeschooled students about their experience when they were grown up, but they neglected to ask the same of public school students, so it's hard to compare. And as someone already mentioned, the price of $500 doesn't include the money lost when both parents aren't working.
That said, I'd homeschool my kid if i had any. But not everyone can afford to do so (single parents, the poor). So instead of applying band-aids like homeschooling to our national education problem, lets fix public education once and for all.

- HarryHirsch 13y agoWe know what works, a look at Finland is sufficient. The subject has been studied. Here's what's worrying: instead we got No Child Left Behind, we got the attendant testing, and no one has drawn any conclusions from all the testing that would have made an improvement to public education. If there were any you'd see them by now. The only hypothesis that's left is that there is no political will to improve public education.
