Statistics, and studies, are damned lies. Sure, a study (or statistic) can be meaningful if we're all part of the scientific process but with our casual conversation they can only be footnotes; *maybe* slightly better than anecdotes (which is better than nothing). You've done an excellent job proving why. And now, an anecdote: I've never met a homeschooled kid (highschool age) that wasn't WAY ahead of his peers intellectually and usually socially. My theory is that this comes from the interaction with the parents and the parents intimate attention to their child's development. Public school is one size fits all for education and many parents are outsourcing the whole she-bang. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:177820 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
