The Carnival


I've been reading the Carnival of Homeschooling over at Why Homeschool. It takes a while. There's a lot of good information there. One of the most interesting to me was this post about studies that have been done about homeschooling. Here's a good one.
It is kind of dry reading, but there are a few pictures, like this one, a comparison of homeschoolers test scores. Speaking of tests, the state of Texas puts their achievement tests from the previous year online every year for free, so you can test your kids with last year's test, just to get an idea how they are doing. I used it the year before last and then last year, we had testing done in an official setting with the homeschool group. This year, I think we'll do the free tests. Here they are.
