Here are some common characteristics of homeschoolers, which are not as common among public school students:

  • develop a greater ability and discipline to be self-taught
  • develop a greater reliance on logic than on "because the teacher says so"
  • education does not end with a diploma
  • less desire to "fit in"
  • greater ability to be self-employed as an adult
  • vote at a rate three times the rate of those educated in public school
  • superior knowledge of the Bible
  • lack of guile and discomfort with lying
  • object of scorn by those trained in formal school, but no reciprocal animosity[1]
