Re: home schooling and development

[Dr . Bob Wildblood]

I think that this is an area that a number of us would be interested 
in.  We have a growing number of home schooled students and my 
(admittedly anecdotal) experience is that the majority of these 
students do better than students from the local public and parochial 
schools.  Another interesting observation is that while one parochial 
school in our area does significantly better on "ISTEP" scores, the 
students do not seem to live up to their scores once they come to our 
college.  Please keep us informed about any information in regard to 
this topic.

Hey folks:

I have a student who is interested in doing some research investigating
the impact of home schooling on social and emotional development.  I
don't know a whole lot about this area, so we are both in the
exploratory stages.  I'll be doing a literature search later this week,
but I'm curious if anyone on the list has done research in this area or
knows of any additional resources.  We have a lot of home-schooled
students at our university, so we have a pretty good sample of
convenience.  I've always suspected, just based on anecdotal evidence,
that there are some meaningful differences between our home-schooled 
and
non-home-schooled students, but it looks like we'll now have a chance 
to
do something a bit more scientific...

Thanks in advance!

Rod
