Common sense tells me home schooled students would do worse, but they in fact perform better on tests:

I'm still anti-homeschooling, but I have to accept that these students do better... probably benefiting from having one-on-one personalized education from the parents while public school students are mostly lectured and ignored by teachers working with 30-plus students.

What is your reasoning for being anti-homeschooling then?

Why on earth are you anti-homeschooling? It sounds as though you want kids to do worse?
