Discussion on Homeschooling

Tue Apr 01, 2008 at 06:08:49 AM PDT

The liberal think tank the Rockridge Institute is holding an online discussion on homeschooling. Just FYI if you are interested in getting in your two cents. The discussion was sparked by the controversial California ruling against homeschooling without teaching credentials.

  • Home Education (0 / 0)

    Thank you for posting this, Elisa.  What an interesting read. From that thread, and others, there would appear to be a general bias among the progressive and liberal community against the choice of home education.  Where does it come from?

  • I felt the same way (0 / 0)

    When I read the thread I was surprised by the apparent bias (and misinformation).  My younger sister and I were homeschooled and each have our bachelor's degree.  That was the norm among the homeschoolers we ran with.  Most of the research also shows test scores far above their peers.  I think part of the issue was that the discussion turned to extremes and wasn't even about mainstream homeschooling but fringes.
