No Child Left Behind?

I think homeschooling and/or private schooling definitely trump public school education. My kids were in private school for a few years and when they went into the equivalent grade at a public school they were light years ahead of their peers. My two oldest were both "promoted" one grade higher upon entering public school. This was in Texas.

I think they are entirely different things with different resources and different goals. I think it's apples vs oranges. I didn't mean to bring it into this subject, only to point out that the contact hour issue is talked about a lot in among home-schoolers.
