Brian Ray's Influence on Homeschooling Narratives

Brian Ray, a homeschool dad, often publishes skewed data showing that homeschooled kids perform as well as or better than public school students. However, his data is based on self-selected volunteers from the homeschooling community, leading to unreliable test scores and comparisons. The lack of consistent requirements for reporting and recording makes the data functionally meaningless.
