When comparing the performance of homeschoolers and public school students you have to take into account that the achievements of public school students vary considerably, as can be seen from the results of the PISA studies of the OECD. So, how and why do the top countries, like Finland and Kanada, do so much better than Germany or US? To me this dos not seem so much a question of homeschooling or not. --[[User:Schifra|schifra]] 12:45, 13 May 2007 (EDT)
