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!

That is untrue. I have nothing against home schooling provided the
schooling is adequately documented, thus providing the kids with the
credentials needed to get into colleges and to find employment. If a kid
were homeschooled, accepted at an accredited university and obtained a
degree I would give him/her the same consideration as anyone else. What I
am trying to do is to warn parents that these credentials will be needed so
they can aquire them as they go along. If your kid shows up to compete for a
job and has to check the "no" box under "HS Diploma?" on the application
he's going to be at a serious disadvantage no matter how well his mama
schooled him. If you care about your kids that won't happen but you'll have
to do the right things at the right times.
