it's also very important to know that the homeschool movement is a reaction to forced integration of schools!

mix racism and libertarianism and fundamentalism (but i repeat myself) and what do you get? homeschool.

you also get this persistent myth that homeschoolers are better-suited to the world and academia than others which is simply not true!

there aren't a lot of good quality data on how homeschoolers do in higher education (when they even go! which is not that often!) but it's certainly not the ubergenius math whiz story the homeschoolers tell themselves.

i know a bunch of homeschoolers that went to college & university and found they were ill-prepared both socially and academically. this is of course anecdotal but again there's not a lot of high quality data here.
