Ron Paul Launches Homeschool Curriculum

Some research on homeschooling graduates that attend college:

"Bivariate analyses showed the homeschooled students (26.5) reported a significantly higher ACT-Composite score when compared to the overall cohort (25.0), and the home educated (14.7) earned more college credit prior to their freshman year when compared to the overall population (6.0). Home-educated students (3.37) earned a significantly higher fall semester GPA when compared to the overall cohort (3.08). Further, homeschooled students (3.41) earned a higher first-year GPA compared to the overall group (3.12). Finally, the home educated (3.46) earned a significantly higher fourth-year GPA when compared to the freshman cohort (3.16). And the home educated achieved a higher graduation rate (66.7 percent) when compared to the overall population (57.5 percent)."

For those interested, here is some research concerning those students in grade school. http://www.hslda.org/docs/study/comp2001...vement.pdf

When I have children, I might homeschool them, but I definitely will not be using a politically slanted curriculum. My goal will be to expose my children to everything. There was so much I didn't learn about minority Americans in history; and, unfortunately, Texas is taking even more minority history out of the curriculum. There was also a lot I wasn't taught about Texas history. It was like I was taught a watered-down, Disney version.
