Several state departments of education also conducted their ownsurveys on the academic achievement of home-schooled students.In 1987, much to its embarrassment, “the Tennessee Department ofEducation found that home-schooled children in second grade, onthe average, scored in the 93rd percentile, while their publicschool counterparts, on the average, scored in the 52ndpercentile on the Stanford Achievement Test” (the SAT-9 is awell-respected battery of multiple-choice academic achievementtests for public-school students). These studies, and many others, confirm the fact thathome-schooling parents can give their kids a superior education.This shouldn’t surprise us. Home-schooling parents succeed wherepublic schools fail because parents give loving, personalizedattention to their children, use innovative free-marketeducational materials, and nourish a love of learning in theirkids.
