Personally, I had a learning disability... a rather extreme one, so I didn't learn a whole lot while being homeschooled. BUT! My mom would explain, anything and everything, how things worked, and why things worked, and why people did things, etc etc.

And, the result was, I learned how to think with very sound reasoning. And, when I got to college, I discovered almost no one else had been taught to reason on an absolute basis. They were all about memorizing and accepting truth by authority.

The outcome was, the love of a mother homeschooling, though I did not make lots of academic progress, set me up for being able to understand, and master anything. Unlike my public school counter parts.

But, they still excelled at the same classes/jobs/organizations, because even though they didn't understand what they were doing, they were content to play the political games.
