Afortunadamente, existe suficiente investigación sobre el desempeño de los niños que hacen homeschooling y cada vez hay más evidencia de que están mejor preparados que los niños que van a la escuela pública.
La siguiente información es un resumen traducido del sitio Catholic Homeschooling Resources:
“ En 1991, La Asociación de defensa legal para
homeschoolers (Home School Legal Defense Association) condujo un estudio con 5,
124 estudiantes homeschoolers, y encontraron que sus calificaciones estaban de
18 a 28 puntos más arriba que los de los estudiantes de escuelas públicas,
según el “Stanford Acheivent Test” (SAT)...
En 1997, el doctor Brian Ray realizó un estudio
que involucró a 5,402 estudiantes homeschoolers, que se llamó “Strengths of
Their Own: Homeschooling Across America” (Fortalezas propias: Homeschooling en
Estados Unidos). Fue un estudio muy importante que dio muchas estadísticas muy
prometedoras sobre el homschooling… El Dr. Ray encontró que, en promedio, los
estudiantes que estudian en casa, tienen un rendimiento de 30 a 37% mayor que
el de los que estudian en escuelas públicas...
Otro dato estadístico interesante es que el costo promedio de los estudiantes que hacen homeschooling es de $600 dólares, comparado con $5,500 que gasta el sistema de educación pública por estudiante al año... el doctor Ray concluye que gastar más dinero no necesariamente significa que sea una mejor educación...
El NHES (National Household Education Survey
Program) también condujo su propia encuesta tanto en 1999 como en el 2003... Con resultados similares, también encontraron que dos terceras partes de los padres que educaban en casa, lo hacían por cuestiones de ambiente en las escuelas y por razones religiosas"
Estudio tras estudio, confirma lo mismo. Para más detalles de estos resultados, visita los siguientes sitios:
