Home-school vs Public-school

Yet another study has placed Home-schooled kids ahead of Public-school kids. Study after study has shown the advantages academically, socially, and spiritually. Why there is so much hostility still boggles my mind. Not everyone can home school but I think it is a better option for most.

Snip:

     Home-schooled students may have the academic edge over their public schooled peers, according to a new study from the Canadian Journal of Behavioral Science.
     The study, which examined the test scores of 74 students ages 5-10, found that kids educated in structured home school environments actually outperformed their public school counterparts in math and reading.
     Researchers found that public school kids tested either at or above their grade level, while home-schoolers tested about a half-grade higher in math and 2.2 grades higher in reading.
     “Structured home-schooling may offer opportunities for academic performance beyond those typically experienced in public schools,” author Sandra Martin-Chang, a professor at Concordia University, said in a statement about the results.
