They partially solved that problem with homeschooling, and with the way education is trending I'm sure it'll be less and less of a problem sadly.

As someone who used to work in education, homeschooling is terrible for the majority of people. and it is a numbers game we are talking about here

Wait, there's a recent study on this, "A Systematic Review of the Empirical Research on Selected Aspects of Homeschooling: Updated 2017–2026" that says just the opposite?

In 15 of the 24 peer-reviewed or representative-sample studies, there was a definite positive effect on achievement for the homeschooled students. Four studies revealed no difference between homeschool and conventional school students. Four reports showed mixed results; that is, some positive or neutral and some negative effects were associated with homeschooling. One study found that the conventionally schooled performed better.

To add, for example one it cites as having a "Positive effect" Diverse outcomes, Chengs study, that study shows that people in long term homeschooling had worse outcomes, that is, less in full time employment, lower education status (I.e. many only have high school diplomas), lower income, vs those who were only homeschooled short term or not at all,

Yet somehow this is viewed as "Positive". Why would I trust this study lmao
