During the research, I was also thinking about the Amish and in particular about this old SSC article on “ARE THE AMISH UNHAPPY? SUPER HAPPY? JUST MEH?”. The conclusion there is “We just don’t know”, so I did not go further into this.
In general, I anticipate that the self-selection effects on alternative schools and homeschooling will be pretty large, but would still be super interesting to see.
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it (:
