First a bit of back ground on the Fraser Institute itself:
The Fraser Institute measures and studies the impact of competitive markets and government interventions on individuals and society. Our peer-reviewed research is distributed around the world and has contributed to increased understanding of how economic policy affects people.
The Institute is an independent non-profit research and educational organization. We do not accept government grants or contracts for research. We depend on contributions from thousands of individuals, organizations, and foundations.
This is a link to the study: www.fraserinstitute.org/Commerce.Web/product_ files/Homeschooling.pdf
ETA: I cant get it to take you straight to the study, but if you put homeschooling in the search box, its the first article that comes up
One of the interesting findings was that homeschooling parents spend far less on their child's education than the government spends to educate children attending public schools, yet homeschooled children score far better on average when tested and are better socialized from a psychologist's standpoint.
According to CBC, here in ontario, the government spends just over $9000 per child each year. To find out what the government spends per child in your province:http://www.cbc.ca/news/interactives/map-schoolstats/
