No... In fact, home-schooled kids invariably get better grades than public school kids do.
Yes, but home school kids tend to be cherry picked from ideal parents.
I'm all for homeschooling but all the homeschooling parents I know have college degrees and have higher IQ's. Home school parents (notice I said parents) tend to be very ambitious and have strict academic and career goals for their kids. My niece is going to homeschool. She has advanced degrees and her hubby, equally intelligent, pulls in a very nice 3 figure income so she can quit her job. They are very conservative ad most of their friends also high earners and achievers are all homeschooling.
Have you seen what the average family and kid what America is breeding today? Fat, dumb, drugged out and lazy. I doubt 5% could homeschool.
The public schools have to take the low IQ kids from low IQ univolved parents and try to do something with them.
