Frank Luntz said so.

Home school test scores are higher due to selection bias. The same student would score high if in school because their parents are involved.

All children should be in a formal school _and_ home schooled at the same time.

In other words, nobody turns off their learning skills when they leave the classroom and
all parents should teach their children everything they are _capable_ of teaching them.

"half of all children that attend school perform below average" is THE DEFINITION MEDIAN, not AVERAGE. Frequently when using populations such as children, MEDIAN and AVERAGE are very close numerical values to each other.

Depends on the specific course. _ALL_ university students taking chemistry classes that do not have lab components DID take chemistry classes that had lab components.

Lumpy, you are expressing a correlation vs causation problem. Home schooled children all have one feature in common, all home schooled children have parents that are involved in their children's education. Take the same parents and children and put them in a formal setting that is a public or a private school and those same children will _STILL_ perform better than their peers.

Governments work? They appear to be dysfunctional to me.

You clearly have no understanding of supply and demand. It's the other way around. The reason why a used book _has_ resell value is because the new book costs more. The used book market itself actually depresses the prices of new books by its existence as a supply of substitute product. If it were not for the used book market, then new books would cost more not less.

If by obvious you mean upside-down, then yes standard fax machines are "obvious".

Awhile back I established a rule for myself of tossing in the trash basket any resume that claimed work or education experience with SPARK processors or SPARK workstations.

Lawyers tend to take this type of action when the economy goes bad or the competition is whomping them. Case in point: Nokia suing Apple.

Too late. Those fluorescent lights, cell phone towers, microwave ovens, computer monitors, and all the other modern conveniences kick off more than enough R/F

I think you are the one with the unhealthy attitude.
