A fascinating conversation on a recent study of homeschooled adults. Co-author Albert Cheng, PhD, is a Cardus senior fellow and associate professor in the Department of Education Reform at the University of Arkansas.
Among his many achievements and areas of study, his research interests include character formation, school-choice policy, faith-based schooling, and homeschooling.
