<p>“Most states require the home schooled child to take and pass the same final tests that the traditional student takes.” </p>
<p>Can you please provide some documentation to prove this? </p>
<p>In my experience, there is little obligatory oversight of a homeschool in many states. There is much more oversight in a public school. Through the years, I’ve had kids homeschooled and enrolled in public, private and boarding schools. Homeschool is not necessarily a better or worse education than traditional school; it is different. So there is the possibility of much abuse and of much opportunity. </p>
<p>Oh, and to those who try to claim that hs is better by citing stats that show that homeschooled kids do better than ps kids, irrespective of their parents education: I do not believe those stats are adjusted for income and race.</p>
