Homeschool research...need sources

[Heather in OK]

I have a friend who is considering HSing. However, she needs to get her ex-dh on board with it. She asked for some "good analytical statistical info on homeschooling" to show him.

 

I know it's out there but I've never needed to look it up for myself. Are there any good sources I can pass on to her? Anything that is not affiliated with a HS organization (i.e. HSLDA)?

You can try the NHERI site - http://www.nheri.org/

 

There are some statistics from the US State Department as well as some peer reviewed journals on the site.

Here's a page. Unfortunately, some of the links are broken.
