The video Homeschool: Propaganda Vs. Reality (Shattering the myths) has a number of fun statistics, facts and quotes about homeschooling.
Here were two of my favorites:
"Home school students watch much less televsion than students nationwide; 65% of home school students watch one hour or less per day compared to 25% nationally."
A reason why homeschoolers do better is they aren't wasting their time filling their brain with mindless junk.
Dr. Gary Knowles, the University of Michigan, studented home educated adults.
"None were unemployed and none were on welfare, 94% said home education prepared them to be independent persons, 79% said it helped them interact with individuals from different levels of society, and they strongly supported the home education method."
This one surprised me. I don't remember hearing of any study between unemployement and homeschooling. Maybe the answer to the current depression is to ask more parents to homeschool their children.
Here's the video:
