Homeschoolers — Superior Socialization?
July 16th, 2010 by dailynews
Dr. Thomas Smedley believes that homeschoolers have superior socialization skills when compared to children in the general school population. He conducted a survey in which he administered the Vineyard Adaptive Behavior Scales test to identify mature/adaptive behaviors in children. Homeschooled children ranked in the 84% percentile while their public school counterparts ranked in the 23rd and the 27th percentiles.
This information was sent to Homeschool.com by Karen Ritz-Dow. I did check for accuracy and other sites refer to this same study. Thank you Karen.
And remember–fun learning is forever learning!
