I went and did a quick scan of the report that the article was about. One thing that I found consistently missing was numbers and percentages that would provide context. For example, there would be a statement and a table about the percentage of girls being homeschooled vs. boys being homeschooled but without the control figure of the percentage of girls and boys in the school age population or within other types of schools. I noticed something similar in the sections reporting on ethnic percentages of families choosing private school. There was a table showing percentages of various ethnic groups that were private schooled or public schooled but no context of how those groups are represented in the US student population (unless you believe that any difference in percentages is significant).

I reminded me of the time my son told me that he realized that I wasn't perfect. But then he quickly added, "but that's okay Jesus died for you too." When the get it, moms are the first ones to know.
