Your friends are lying to you. They're dissing the competition. You have a mind that's too closed, you shouldn't dismiss stuff that conflicts with your worldview as "made up"stuff. Your teachers are much more likely to be telling you made up stuff.

And btw how would they know?

"compared home schoolers and public school students on the results of three standardized tests — the California Achievement Test, the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and the Stanford Achievement Test — for the 2007-2008 academic year."

Test results aren't made up stuff. The lies your friends tell you ... that is made up stuff.

With public schools the community hires the teachers. What is better than that?

Being allowed to fire the useless ones.
