Scott Alexander analyzes survey data on different schooling types, finding home schooling associated with highest satisfaction but noting significant limitations in the data. Longer summary

Scott Alexander analyzes the results of the 2020 Slate Star Codex Survey regarding different schooling types and their outcomes. He looks at satisfaction with education, life satisfaction, social satisfaction, SAT scores, and other metrics across public, private, religious, home schooling, and unschooling. The analysis accounts for confounding factors like religion, social class, and age. Key findings include home schooled respondents reporting the highest satisfaction with their education, no significant social or romantic disadvantages for home schooled individuals, and potential concerns about unschooling outcomes. However, Scott emphasizes the survey's limitations due to the highly selected nature of SSC readers and other confounding factors. Shorter summary
