"5...Dr. Ray found no significant statistical differences in academic achievement between those students taught by parents with less formal education and those students taught by parents with higher formal education."

That's interesting! I would think that having educated teachers would matter!

Homeschooling is clearly better, on average, for kids than public schooling. I wonder if similar studies have been done comparing homeschooling with private schooling? I don't have a sweeping opinion about one being better than the other, I think it entirely depends on the individual child's unique needs and aptitudes.
