Vito,

You don't really want answers; you just wanna confirm your position
that homeschoolers are unworthy of being hired by you. Fine. If you're
doing the hiring, you can set the standards. And feel free to continue
to think that homeschoolers are engaging in selfish behavior, compared
to those who farm their kids out to the school system all day every
day. You wanna have kids, you should be responsible for them and make
some effort on their behalf. You wanna pursue your lame career instead,
you shouldn't have had 'em. (A grandparent and still working? Not very
"successful," are you?)

Just FYI, Graham returned to the US and was accepted to Stanford. This
is, of course, after he wrote his book and worked on several
photographic assignments for National Geographic. Guess National
Geographic isn't as picky as you are in their hiring practices.

He didn't like life at Stanford; and he and his wife moved to Montana.
I have no idea what he's doing nowadays. OTOH, the Colfax family sent
their kids to Harvard and Yale from their homeschooling goat farm in
Northern Callifornia. (_Homeschooling for Excellence_ by David and Miki
Colfax.)

But you're gonna choose to look at any example given about "successful"
homeschooling as a case of abusus non tollit usum. I have other things
to do than sit here and beat this dead horse; so I'm gonna go do 'em.

Happy sailing!

Frank
