: 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".... -- Larry You know you've had a rough night when you wake up and you're outlined in chalk. |
