Homeschool News – 7 Shocking Facts About Home-Based Education

Homeschool News – 7 Shocking Facts About Home-Based Education

Well, the voters (some of them at least) passed all the school budgets in our town yesterday but here is a reality check for them...

"Fact #6: Spending more per student via public culture does not improve performance. Homeschool culture generally costs $500 per student each year for curriculum and equipment, while public culture costs an average of near $10,000. Regardless of total dollars per student, homeschool students came in at 86-89% performance, or 36-39% above the national public school average."

Kudos to homeschoolers for not adding to the taxpayer's burden!
