OK, generally speaking, home-school kids perform better in standardized tests than public school kids.

Generally speaking, home school kids have better role models than public school kids.

Generally speaking, public school teachers strive to be good role models.

Generally speaking, of course.

Generally speaking these data suffer from selection bias don’t they?

Highly motivated parents home school their children. Children with special needs, learning problems or parents who don’t give a shit are part of the pool of the public school kids and their test results.

So generally speaking, you can’t compare the two groups.
