Homeschooling study continues to gather attention

The Huffington Post, CBC News, New American, Yahoo! News and Psychomédia report that researchers from Concordia and Mount Allison University have found homeschooling — as long as it’s structured or follows a curriculum — can provide kids with an academic edge. Led by Sandra Martin-Chang, a professor in the Department of Education, the study established that homeschooled kids could gain a half-grade advantage in math and up to 2.2 grade levels in reading compared to their peers in the public education system.
