Home-schoolers: There is no hope in Obama

Great editorial on homeschooling and possible changes (or lack thereof ) with the new establishment. A couple of excerpts that caught my eye:

Even as America's students have dropped to their lowest level on standardized tests compared to students internationally, and even as drop-out rates soar past the 50 percent mark in most of the largest urban school districts, President-elect Barack Obama has shown contempt for school choice-even as he exercised school choice in enrolling his own children in the most expensive and exclusive private prep school in Washington, D.C.

and later:

These parents have seen home-schooled children win spelling bees and other awards (such as when home-schooled Cheyenne Kimball won NBC's America's Most Talented Kid at age 12). They have seen how top colleges are now seeking out home-schooled kids, and have noticed that home-schooled children out-score traditionally schooled ones on the ACT. Home-schooled children have an average ACT composite score of 22.4, compared to the national average of 21.1.
