I’m beginning to think you and I are the only people who have gone to college.
LOL ... it would seem so ... :-)
I think what is going on here, is that some people have the idea that "homeschooling" is to be supported "no matter what" and anything that deviates from the "mantra" that "homeschooling is better in every way" -- is not to be tolerated. This will lead them into "unreal situations" -- like this 13-14 year old girl getting into relationships with those 18-24 year old boys.
I support the idea of homeschooling but that doesn't make the kid "grow up" any quicker, actually. There's a reason why society has said that kids of 14 years old cannot -- are unable, to make decisions for having sex themselves.
BUT, the "comeback" from the "homeschoolers" is that they are "developmentally advanced" -- so you carry that forward and that basically means that it's "legitimate" for 14-year old homeschoolers to have sex with 20-24 year old boys in the university.
Hoo-boy! The kinds of things that one can come up with when one "irrationally" supports an idea to the "extreme" ... :-)
You also made a really great point about the huge window in between classes.
Oh yeah! There is ample time to do a whole lot of things in between classes, day time or not -- commuter college or a college town where everyone is on campus.
That's a legal determination, not a societal one. Fourteen year olds make that decision every day so it's not that they are technically unable to or incapable of making that decision.

If the kid is that determined to live like that, she's going to regardless of whether she's taking community college courses or not. If you think that that sort of thing doesn't go on in public schools or after school hours either, you are way more delusional than you appear to be by your posts.

Putting a smiley face at the end of a post deliberately designed to insult and malign an entire group of people isn't going to convince them you aren't serious about it.
There you have it folks, what some people think of homeschoolers, that we think it's legitimate for 14 year olds to have sex with college age kids just because we homeschool and think that homeschool students should be allowed to attend a community college.
It's the natural outcome of our *extreme*, homeschooling mentality, dontcha know?
ST, why is your mind so in the gutter? Your posts on this thread do nothing other than demonstrate a very warped, twisted view of college students, their behavior as a whole, homeschoolers, and your past, as revealed in your own posts about YOUR college life.
Please point out to me where anyone is advocating that. I'm formerly homeschooled and a college grad as well, so I can talk to you about it either way.
Also, leave out any smileys and "lol"s please. If you need to insult someone by hiding behind that crap, then you need to be far more careful with your statements.
