    I think technology …
    I think technology is really changing the answer to this question. Like now, a high school level homeschooler can dual enroll in many colleges and have an associates by the time they graduate homeschool all from home via online classes. But as far as traditional college goes, most colleges welcome homeschoolers…all you need is a transcript and good ACT/SAT scores. Because the kids have more free time for extra-curricular interests, there are many opportunities for scholarships, etc.

    I know it’s been 4 …
    I know it’s been 4 months but I wanted to respond to this. My cousin was homeschooled and you are right. I just as an older kid couldn’t stand my mother asking questions as if she knew what she was telling me when I understood my teacher back in the third grade then in 5th then 7th so frustrating the social stuff that I would have avoided if early I had homeschooled the same time my cousin was.

    I suggest not. I …
    I suggest not. I plead not in some cases. My issue as I posted this video and a statement in my Digg account…. as a young kid I could have been homeschooled but it was the influence of teachers in my young years that made me tell my mom I wanted to go to private school. I think a child should first be taught by parents and maybe even homeschooled then given the choice not the other way around. I am glad you are thinking about choice though.

    someone either who …
    someone either who saw or performed this or know this or has seen this on a large enough screen please tell me or hint at what are they missing. I wish someone would get a close-up on these people or at least a little closer to see expression because I can tell there was some awesome expression by all these people. Also I wish those in the skit would video respond to the written responses at least if noonne else will since I know there was a camera putting this on youtube

    I loved this clip …
    I loved this clip so much! I was laughing and could totally relate. This is only my second year homeschooling my oldest daughter who is in the first grade, and I have 2 younger children. I love homeschooling, and plan to continue, but people do think I am a little strange for it. It is nice to see so many people relating to my situation! So many people think homeschooling parents do it to be mean, but honestly I do it because I love my children, and I want them to succeed in life.

    That sounds cool. I admire you parents! Thanks to the people who replied to my post! I have a better understanding now. The only other thing I am curious about is how the transition is from a homeschool setting to a regular college setting. But I figure a smart child will eventually be able to adjust to any type of educational setting. Anyway, thanks again for writing. It’s been interesting to read the responses!

    I think it is more …
    I think it is more that we are experts on our kids. We know their strengths and weaknesses, and there are really excellent curriculums out there. The public schools here aren’t good, and only teach to the test. No history, art, music, etc. for elementary. I am able to customize my oldest daughter’s education for her advanced reading level and teach lots of electives to make it fun. There is a lot of freedom to go and do things (cheaper too!). They are excelling and we all love it .

    greenbayy: yes …
    greenbayy: yes totally. thanks for being so non-threatening about it. Yes there are lots of ways to teach a subject the parent is not proficient in. One way would be to bring in a tutor, or to trade off subjects with another parent, say in a homeschool co-op. Or another option is to have self-teaching curriculum. A read-the-text and take-the-tests approach, or a DVD set with the teacher teaching it. for instance my brother uses both those for high school math and science.
