The funny thing is that most Homeschoolers take the option to send the kids to Community College for the last years of high school. The kids can get into most colleges on their Associate's Degree.

Michigan is planning to pay for this!!

we'd have to recognize that the homeschooled students are one-tenth of 1 percent of our enrollment," Likins said. "How could we face the thousands and thousands of students out there that would not be guaranteed admission even if they exceeded the SAT threshold?"

Quota for homeschooled = 0.1% = bad.
Quota for blacks = 12-13% = good.

Can someone 'splain this to me?

Here is a thought:

Let free enterprise take care of the situation. Someone build a university that only allows homeschooled children to attend. I bet it would have some of the highest rated students in the whole USA.

Those [homeschooled] students have no class rank.

Yes they do.

They are #1 in their class.

So what if the class only has one student?
