New Study: Home-Educated Canadian Adults Excel
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/dec/09120305.html
“A new study released yesterday by the Canadian Centre for Home Education (CCHE) reveals that home-educated adults in Canada excel in all measured areas of adult life, including education level, religious observance, civic and community participation, life satisfaction, and income.”
“The results were astounding…”
“The study found that, when measured against the Canadian average, home-educated adults were more socially engaged and almost twice as likely to have voted in a federal election. Their average income was higher, with more self-reliant sources of income, such as investments and self-employment. In fact, of all respondents, there were no cases of government support as the primary source of income.”
“The respondents were happier in their work and about their lives in general. They also have more varied recreational pursuits. The study notes, for example, that the respondents ‘were much more likely than the comparable population to have read books and attended concerts of classical music or theatrical performances.’ Overall, when reflecting on the value of being home-educated, most felt that it was an advantage in their adult life.”
