Education official concerned about homeschooling popularity

Sarah Nicholas, a spokeswoman for the state College Board, said homeschool
students often score higher than public school students on the American
College Test and the Scholastic Aptitude Test - two national, standardized
tests used for college admissions.

"I don't know why they score so high," Nicholas said. "But historically,
students who are homeschooled usually have exceptionally high scores on those
tests."

I taught art in the public school for four years at the primary and secondary
level.  After that experience I promised The LORD that no children of mine
would ever attend a public school.  The LORD blessed us with two wonderful
children, neither of which has had to suffer in the public school.

Home-educated children are not "smarter", It's that their GOD-given
ability/skill to learn has not been damaged!
