but it goes back to having great parents to teach them. Some parents arent' equipped to homeschool (may not have the brains or money or both). I bet those same kids would do just as well if not better in a regular school environment simply because of their parents. Like the California school (Balboa Elem)I mentioned earlier that tests great every year...their parents/homelife/etc. is the main reason for that, I'm sure. Plus the fact that a lot of them aren't English as a second language kids. But anyway, yeah, its all up the parents and their involvement. At least I think so.
