Thanks for providing it. Please take note that the link you provided is almost 7 years old. Home schooling has really been taking off in the last few years. So I hear.
Going back and taking another quick look at the link I provided I am not sure I agree that it's a religious site. But even if it were, I don't see how that makes you have to take it with a grain of salt either. However it doesn't really matter as both sites are saying basically the same thing.
One of the interesting things to me, from the site that you provided is that it says that home schooled children perform better than even children that attend private religous schools. This is news to me but not surprising to me.
There are way to many distractions going on at public schools. One on one teaching has to produce better results than 20 or 30 in a class. Especially if that one on one teaching is from one or both of the parents. It's common sense to me. Of course any parent that would choose to take on such a huge responsibility as to home school their children would have to be pretty dedicated to begin with. So I'm sure that has something to do with it as well.
I will be glad to discuss this with you if you want. I just don't want to get into another battle. Not saying you have been combative because you haven't so far. I just don't have the time or energy to get into a huge debate. So as long as things stay civil than it's fine by me.
