Benefits of Standardized Testing for Homeschoolers
Commentary
I like the idea of dropping the tests in theory, but in practice, some students will lose many potential benefits.
As a college educator and homeschool parent, I approach standardized testing from several different perspectives. Also, please note these are my observations and are not backed by any empirical data. It’s simply my process as a professor and academic adviser.

As we know, all K-12 education is not equal and varies dramatically by the school, state, or homeschool curriculum. The one item that somewhat equalizes the entire process is standardized testing.
