Case for Homeschooling - Exhibit 2

Last time, I shared one of the negative motivations for choosing to keep our children out of government schools and placing them at home for their education. Today, I share a positive aspect of homeschooling from the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) and Dr. Brian Ray.

Homeschooling Grows Up
Homeschooling Grows Up is the largest research survey to date of adults who were home educated. Over the last decade, researchers, professionals, parents, the media, and many others have asked repeatedly: How do homeschooled students turn out? Can a homeschool graduate get into college or get a job? How do they fit into society? Are they good citizens? Are they happy?

In 2003, HSLDA commissioned Dr. Brian D. Ray, president of the National Home Education Research Institute, to conduct a study to answer these questions. The results of his research demonstrate that homeschoolers are succeeding.

The PDF outlining the results of the survey is very interesting indeed! In general, it seems that homeschooling gives purpose, work ethic, and happiness to most of the students.
