Hi--

I remember hearing about this study but I'd never seen it.

Interesting results (not surprising!:))--yet I remember people on a list I was on saying that the religious-affiliation demographics, among others, were skewed by the fact that Bob Jones University was involved. Lots and lots of home/unschooling people I know said they would have opted out of such a study because they didn't want to be affiliated with that particular institution...

Now if they had a non-religious organization collecting the data, the demographics might be quite different, and a picture of homeschoolers as more varied in their makeup might have emerged...

Thanks for passing it along--
Carolyn

Here's a link to an article about the Rudner report.

It's a much different view of what this study is and does.

Well I'll say! That sounds like the official version of what the people on
the list were saying. And sounds right to me, too.

Thanks for the link--
