Pardon my saying, but you seem to have a bias against homeschooling. Why
else would you snip out the third link I provided, which had more
modern examples? Why else would you ignore the plethora of twentieth
century ("the age of schooling") examples in the two links above?
I'd be his "bias" is the bias of EVERY person sitting in the HR chair
hiring people to work for every corporation in the country. Be it true or
not, homeschooling is associated with religious fanaticism, isolationists
and those religious hermits down the street that never mow their lawn....
If the kid were Albert Einstein, homeschooled, we'd probably have had to
wait for relativity a while longer. Read about the life and troubles of
one of the real geniuses of the electric age, Nikola Tesla. Tesla never
had the credentials the HR department was looking for. He was just a
genius immigrant boy from Eastern Europe competing against academia's
golden haired boy, Thomas Edison. If it weren't for George Westinghouse
seeing that genius and capitalizing on it, your house would run on
batteries from Edison Electric (GE).... Tesla didn't attend the "right
schools" in the "right places" with the "right people"....
