Study Shows State Regulation of Home Schooling Unnecessary

The National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI) has published a new study based on empirical research that compares the performance on college-admissions tests of home school students from highly regulated states to those from states with little or no regulation. The results will not come as a surprise to most of our readers:

"The authors of this study find no evidence from their analysis that
supports the claim that states should exercise more regulation of homeschool families and students in order to assure better academic success in general or improved higher-education success in particular. On the contrary, the findings of this study are consistent with other research findings that homeschool students perform well academically -- typically above national averages on standardized achievement tests and at least on par with others on college-admissions tests - and do so regardless of whether they live in a state that applies low, moderate, or high governmental regulation of homeschooling."
