The US is rated 14th in the world for education, doesn't sound very comprehensive to me. Friends of ours have 6 children, all home schooled. The oldest girl was accepted to college but declined to start her own business and has done very well. The oldest boy has a scholarship for college and starts this year. The rest of the kids have excellent grades as they are monitored by the state. They have like age friends in their neighborhood so they are experiencing socializing with other children.
