“You Can’t Buy Class”

A new federal report says that home schooling has doubled in wealthy families over the last 10 years, rising to 1.5 million, or 2.9% of all U.S. schoolchildren. The results are very positive overall, proven by the fact that those who went to public school, couldn’t have calculated that percentage.

There are some disadvantages to those who home school their kids, such as appearing schizophrenic when holding a parent-teacher conference.

Home schooling used to be more common among poor, rural families. In fact, many a hillbilly stereotype started when brothers and sisters had no one but each other to take to the prom.
