Whooosh!
You think one kid who was home schooled has some sort of meaning, statistically speaking.
One kid.
One kid.
You failed statistics. Splatt's example has no meaning whatsoever.

One kid in my son's school was doing 12th grade calculus when he was in 9th grade. What does this mean? That we have an amazing math department?

Based on your logic, if a kid who went to Cornell wins the Nobel price 20 years later, it means all other colleges were bad.

So, to conclude: The fact that a home schooled kid did well in a spelling bee means "the schools" (all of them, everywhere) are having problems.
Right?

How about the differences between teaching one kid vs. an entire classroom of kids - who all have various aptitudes & skills in various subjects, and have varying interests, while maintaining discipline at the same time? Kind of difficult to focus on everyone in that classroom with the same intensity with which one could focus on the one kid (or say even 3, if a family's being home-schooled).

Oh the NEA line of bull crap comes flowing out of your mouth....
How the hell could a dumb parent teach better than all the 'teachers' in America?
How could a home schooled kid beat EVERY Public School educated kid in a spelling bee?

Let's turn your question around: If a family can afford the best in private education, how can the result be a person who can't assemble sentences and ideas any better than a 6th grader?

Something tells me that the parents who home school aren't exactly at the bottom of the parental heap. Nevermind the fact that they have to follow strict guidelines, re: the state's curriculum. Then, as mentioned above, there's the extremely small class size.
