There are some fundamental differences of significance between homeschoolers and public schoolers:
- Homeschoolers are consistently more proficient in mathematics, science, writing, and language.[1]
- Homeschoolers do not stop learning upon receipt of a diploma; most public schoolers do not try to learn outside of school
- Homeschoolers vote at three times the rate of public schoolers, when they become of voting age
- Homeschoolers engage in less deceit than public schoolers, and are less easily amused by it
- Homeschoolers form fewer cliques and gangs than public schoolers
- Homeschoolers are less amused by profanity, and rarely have the compulsive profanity common to public schoolers
- Homeschoolers are more able to be self-employed or self-disciplined without requiring constant supervision.
- Homeschoolers are more likely to embrace faith and have a close relationship with God.
- Homeschoolers pray more often than students in public school, where prayer is censored.
- Homeschoolers perform better on average on all standardized test that are not infested with liberal bias (and even some that are)
- Homeschoolers attain higher literacy rates and reading competence, due to an absence of anti-intellectual peer pressure.[2]
- Homeschoolers have much lower teen pregnancy rates, and abortion is almost unknown among homeschoolers.
