:You're absolutely right, and please feel free to make appropriate edits to this (or any other) entry. That said, this is another example of how the exceptions do not prove the rule. The correlation is still very high being homeschooling and open-mindedness or [[faith]], even with the problem you describe. Students are better off in a virtual school than a bricks-and-mortar school, and most homeschooled students nationwide reject the virtual school curricula anyway. So it's a bit like saying that not all non-smokers are healthy. True, but the non-smokers are better off than the smokers, on average.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 17:22, 20 January 2010 (EST)
::Absolutely; I never intended to be any kind of an "exception to any rule," but rather to point out a very important point. In my opinion, liberal bias is a terrible problem in all settings, not just [[public schools]], [[private schools]], or [[homeschooling]]. [[User:DMorris|DMorris]] 16:26, 21 January 2010 (EST)
== Irrelevant information ==
There's a couple of bits of information which seem totally irrelevant:
''- The most successful mathematician in contests in history, Reid Barton, was homeschooled.[2]'' - One example out of a bunch of mathematicians isn't really evidence.
''- The top college football player and the first to win the Heisman Trophy as a sophomore, Tim Tebow, was homeschooled until college.[3]'' - Doesn't have anything to do with homeschooling since the football skills he learned weren't learned by being homeschooled.
''- A Wimbledon tennis star, Melanie Oudin, chose homeschooling beginning in 7th grade:'' - Also doesn't have anything to do with homeschool.
I'm all for homeschooling, I was homeschooled myself, and several of my friends were, but this still seems irrelavent to the concept of homeschooling, and it shouldn't be included in the first paragraph of the text. Maybe later, as examples of people who were homeschooled but not like it's used right now, like a reason be homeschooled.
