I've done a lot of hiring for well-paying jobs. Employers want
credentials. Your home-schooled kid may be better educated than the
product of PS101 but do you have a paper that says so, or that (s)he
has any education at all. And if I'm to compare several candidates I
want to see scores on standardized tests.




And, armed with the information this applicant lived the first 15 years of
his life on a fiberglass island like a hermit....would you think he'd fit
into a busy office, factory, "department" in a large, heavily-populated
business? I wouldn't.

Home schooling's isolationists are bad enough. Pile that on top of living
with those independent-minded hermits at the dock and I think you're doing
serious damage to the poor kid. Take him on a cruise, by all means! But
make him live years on a boat....NOT.
