Contextualizing Home School Data: A Response to Rudner.

Welner, Kariane Mari; Welner, Kevin G.

Education Policy Analysis Archives, v7 n13 1999

Rudner's analysis of data from a large survey of home-schooled students provides an inaccurate portrayal of home-schooling families as a white, Christian, monolithic population. Insufficient attention to the data's biases gives an erroneous picture of home schooling. (SLD)
