That's not always true. My neighbor home schools her kids. My neighbor is really stupid. I've no doubt her kids will turn out stupid. Part of their education is watering a dead tree. They did this everyday for months until it started pouring. Now there is no need to water anything. The tree is still dead. One of these days, it is going to get so rotten it will fall over on one of her kids. Then they will learn to not water dead trees. Until then, I just shake my head and sigh.
Homeschooling can be more challenging, and you can learn more. But that is not necessarily the case.
I am undecided on the issue.
