You were also younger when you were at home and we all learn more when we are younger, but that is beside the point. It seems that you are misunderstanding my post a bit and admittedly that may be my own fault. I did not mean to imply that those schools are good schools because of their resources, any public school will have more resources than the average family and any public school with have a wider available knowledge base among its faculty than is reasonably plausible for two parents, the great schools will also have the ability for the student to be individually nurtured and the ability to conform to a students learning type (instead of forcing the student to conform to the school's teaching style) that makes homeschooling such a good option for many people.
