I found it interesting there are so many home schoolers there which was great, but again there seems to be something lacking in the public education that there wern't more kids from a ps.
I don't think that the high percentage of homeschoolers implies that Public Schools are bad at helping kids learn, only that they are bad at helping kids who happen to have special educational needs because they are advanced (gifted) and that lots of parents of this sort of kid recognize this and homeschool in response.
Association v. Causation - always a trickly thing to look at!
Glad to hear that your DD was willing to make her paper a learning experience. Good luck with tightening up the organizational safety net holes. A wonderful opportunity!
