According to Ian Slater, the spokesperson for the Home School Legal Defense Association, the
"The majority of home-schoolers self-identify as evangelical Christians," said Ian Slatter, a spokesman for the Home School Legal Defense Association. "Most home-schoolers will definitely have a sort of creationist component to their home-school program."
"And for most home-school parents, a Bible-based version of the Earth's creation is exactly what they want. Federal statistics from 2007 show 83 percent of home-schooling parents want to give their children "religious or moral instruction."
How does this reflect upon the education level of many Evangelicals?
Because most home schooling parents disagree with the teachings of public schools. Public Schools teach evolution, acceptance of homosexuality as normal behavior, and much else that is not acceptable to a believing Christian. They don't want their children indoctrinated with those teachings. They are willing to pay the price in time and money to teach their children what they believe as followers of God.
Them public schools be corrupting our youth. They don't teach them stuff like angels existing and Noah's ark being true and stuff. Public schools teach blasphemy like evolution, gravity, and the heliocentric theory. Plus they don't allow a good whooping once in a while.
what Bideshi said plus they score highest on tests and are accepted into the best universities at a ridiculous proportion compared to their gov schooled counterparts

Do you really want to compare the educational achievements of home schooled/church schooled kids to those of the public school flunkies?

The OP isn't about public schools exclusively, but about all schools, including elite top notch private schools. Epic fail.

Of course. While the gubmint schools waste time teaching political correctness, giving medals to the losers because they "tried their best" discouraging to try harder because what you did is just "good enough", the kids are loud and disruptive, I'm not surprised they want to homeschool. I think it's a good idea. With the ever increasing class sizes, I think 1:1, 1:2, etc. sounds like a very good ratio to me. Plus the parents are teaching the children and raising them at the same time, the gubmint isn't raising them.

I'd love to see some stats that show that home schooled evangelicals are a higher percentage or even equal percentage to public or charter school applicants in college acceptance levels. You could slap me silly.

I thought home schooled students avoid the best universities since they consider them to be bastions of liberalism which is why they were homeschooled in the first place.

Or private schools for that matter. Don't right wingers always complain that colleges are a overun by liberals? Wouldn't their kids get corrupted when they go on to University.
