I had several home schooled friends, all of which were behind compared to what I was learning in school. One of them was a year older than me and very much so a hard worker and always getting his work done way before it was due. He decided to join public school for personal reasons and he actually had to start in a grade lower. That is my experience. I have noticed that my little sisters age group (13-14) seems to be worse. I don't blame the work given to home school kids. I think it is a product of parents being too busy to devote to proper time to the task of being a teacher.
