Just out of curiousity, why are so many people listed as being homeschooled, when the explanation then goes on to say that they joined school at age 10 or 9 or whatever. Surely that's just a mix of both, and so a little irrelevant?

== Other Factors Contributing to Homeschool Success ==
Without disputing the achievements of homeschooled students, I would like to see a more detailed examination of related factors which likely contribute to this achievement. For instance: homeschooled students are almost certainly going to benefit from having a full-time, stay-at-home parent, as this is essentially a prerequisite to proper homeschooling. Surely full-time parenting carries substantial benefits in and of itself; it has been my experience that students who come from a home environment with a stay-at-home parent tend to be more disciplined, more courteous, and typically more academically advanced than those who do not. Additionally, by the same logic, homeschooled students are quite likely to come from a stable two-parent household; it seems very unlikely that a single parent would be able to both make ends meet and properly homeschool. The benefits of a two-parent household are, if anything, more pronounced than the benefits of full-time parenting; of the students who have failed my class in the past several years, better than half came from single parent homes.
Would this article be an appropriate place for such an examination, or should it be placed in a related article? --[[User:Benp|Benp]] 12:14, 30 June 2008 (EDT)
