April 12, 2003  Are American standards good enough for homeschoolers?

US standards, including those for college entrance, are much lower than those in the rest of the world. In England, for example, college-bound 16-year-olds must learn more than 18-year-old US high school graduates. In fact, even the best US high school graduates would not qualify to be accepted at a university in Europe, Asia, Latin America, or Africa. And increasingly, graduate students of US technical universities come from abroad.

Q. Given that homeschoolers in the US score significantly higher on standardized tests than their public schooled peers, which of the following best represents your point of view?

We're doing ok as it is; don't rock the boat.		12.68% (9)
We need to aim higher to get back to our grandparents' level of education.		28.17% (20)
We need to aim higher to compete with the rest of the world.		47.89% (34)
We shouldn't care what the Europeans do; American education is better.		1.41% (1)
My kids will be attending American colleges; they're doing well enough already.		1.41% (1)
I find the idea of homeschoolers doing even better somewhat terrifying.		8.45% (6)
