Paper Summary:
This paper reviews three qualitative studies of which the first looks at home schooling in 50 states, the second presents a longitudinal study over ten years and the third evaluates four home schooled students with ADHD. The author points out that these three studies disclose that "normal" students and even students with special needs, such as the ADHD, can benefit more and learn more when they are subjected to the teaching method of home schooling. The paper relates that students' educational achievements, grades and behavioral performances at home and in school are used as proof that home schooling generates better understanding and learning from these students.Table of Contents:

Generalization
From the Paper:
"ADHD students, who participated Duval and Ward's research, were given a series of academic tests with which the results were compared to the average scores given by the normal students. From the summary of the results quoted above, it can be easily inferred that home schooling for ADHD students is effective because the test results revealed that ADHD students (who participated in the study) performed way better than the normal students enrolled in the public schools."Sample of Sources Used:
