“According to the information we have, home schooling works. Home schoolers on average beat the national average on the SAT by 81 points, national average being both public and private schools. On the Iowa test of basic skills, home schoolers scored in the 75th percentile, as opposed to the 50 percentile for your average student. It works.”
