That said, in the article "Don't Let School Choose You: Pros and Cons" one boy said, "These students often outperform their public school counterparts on SATs and state standardized tests by approximately 20 percentage points. These students continue to excel in college and beyond, with an average college GPA of 3.46 compared to 3.16 for their peers (Carter, 2015).” So in these situations homeschooling is better than traditional school, but you have to think that there are a lot fewer homeschoolers in college than kids in public school, so that might be why they have better numbers What would the numbers look like if we just compared the top 10% of homeschooled students and the top 10% of public school students you would think the numbers would look very different People try to make the numbers look good to prove a point , but I think it would be different if you compared the numbers this way. Most kids go to college and forget why they do it
