•Degree of structure (ranging from very unstructured approaches such as delight directed learning or eclectic teaching approaches to very structured, preplanned, and prescribed approaches)

I believe that.
ReplyDeleteIn studies of school kids vs. homeschool kid achievement scores, when they match the kids for social factors, their achievement is roughly the same, income being the most important predictor.
Higher and higher incomes don't mean higher and higher performance, but there is a line, so many times the poverty level, I can't remember now exactly.
And then homeschoolers tend to have two committed and involved parents, one primarily at home, though not necessarily exclusively, and so do high achieving students at school.
But there are so many abstract benefits I've seen with homeschool, things I didn't expect, that I don't believe academic performance tells the whole story.
Okay, good night. love, Val
Val, if you happen to remember where you saw those studies, I'd love to read them. xoxo
