School at Home

Dec. 12, 2005 - Test Scores for Homeschoolers Lower Than Private School Students

Homeschool students scored an average of 1093.1 on the SATs, compared to 1012.6 for public school students and 1123.8 for private-independent schools.  (Homeschool Fact from http://www.percipion.com) 

Interesting?  I think so!  At first, I was a little irritated that private school students scored higher on average.  Many things could account for this.  However, I'm starting to question the methods of homeschoolers.  Could it be that "school at home" isn't such a bad idea after all?  Hmmm... I feel a soap box coming on!  LOL!

About Me
Yes, we use A Beka and we enjoy our relaxed style of traditional "school at home." (We use other things, too, like some Sonlight books... and I devour Ruth Beechick's books.) I love the idea of relaxed schooling, but it became too overwhelming for me to keep up with! We switched to textbooks -- with Mom in charge -- and we're loving it! Join us!
