Let me jump in here! My neighbor raised 5 kids on a 39' custom sailboat in
Mexico. They went aboard ship when the first was 3 mo old and had 4 more
aboard. All were home (boat) schooled until they reached high school age.
That's when the kids and the parents felt the kids needed more peer
interaction so they bought the house next door and moved ashore. All five
kids excelled in regular high school and all five are now in college with
the first graduating next year. One just spent a year in Japan as an
exchange student and speaks good Japanese.
I'm not sure how much home schooling benefitted the kids but it sure never
hurt them! Might be the smart genes. Their father is from Poland!
BTW; They still have the boat, have refinished it, got his license, and
sells cruises out of Pt Angeles when he isn't working his internet cafe!

Tuuk,
From what I've read, home schooler's excel above the other students.
I'm
sure some parents are better at this than others but the figures said
they
for the most part are doing very well.

I'd be interested in what you've read.
