“Although we weren’t particularly focusing on home schooling, this research did show just how far home schooling has come in the public eye, as well as how far it still has to go.  On the negative side for home schooling, this option was consistently at or near the bottom when compared against other educational options.  But on the positive side, more Americans believe it’s giving children a good education than a poor one.  In addition, home schooling actually has a slightly better reputation than public schools.  And even though home schooling is often stereotyped as primarily a choice of religious conservatives, people who don’t attend religious worship services gave the quality of a home school education a higher rating than a public school education, and political liberals rated the two about equally.”
