The Adulthood Section

Latest comment: 5 months ago4 comments2 people in discussion

I'm not a Wikipedia editor, so I'm not sure how to fix this, but I noticed what might be a problem/inconsistency in this article. The paragraph directly under the heading "Adulthood" starts by stating that HSLDA conducted a survey that showed positive long-term outcomes among adults who were homeschooled. The paragraph immediately lists multiple negative outcomes for homeschooled adults. Are these outcomes part of another survey? If so, that should be clarified better. As a reader, I found this paragraph confusing.

Anyway, I hope someone with more experience/knowledge will be able to clarify this paragraph. ~2026-15233-09 (talk) 20:46, 9 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

There are more than one survey cited in that section, and the results of those surveys vary. But the whole section also smells very WP:SYNTHy to me, and needs a source-text integrity check as well as better attribution of views. -- LWG ^talk ^(VOPOV) 21:39, 9 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the clarification! ~2026-15233-09 (talk) 21:54, 9 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

I've refactored that entire section after checking the sources. Hopefully it is more clear now which surveys found what results. -- LWG ^talk ^(VOPOV) 22:05, 9 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
