Ray of the National Home Education Research Institute has just released the largest-ever study looking at the lives of over 7,000 adults from across the United States who were home educated during their elementary and secondary school years.  “For nearly 20 years, critics and the curious have been asking about the homeschooled: But how will they do in the “real world” of adulthood?
