Anyone who has spent any time around teenagers who have been "socialized" in our public schools, wouldn't wish such "socialization" on their worst enemies. We home-schooled our daughter from third grade until she was fifteen, at which point she attended the local community college. She graduated from Rice University with a degree in Chemical Engineering on May 13th and is now gainfully employed. I couldn't imagine having a sweeter, smarter, or better behaved daughter than the one I have.

Congratulations!
As I've been telling other folks, I hope you'll continue to spread the word about your own successes far and wide. There are a lot of misconceptions to be put to rest about homeschooling, and the best folks to do that in my view are homeschooling parents who can point to their own stellar performers as exhibit "A."

Well, they aren't all bad. All 3 of my sons attended public school for most of their schooling (I would have home schooled had I known it was an option, but it didn't explode like it has until they were in late high school). But I do feel bad about some of the things they were exposed to as they were growing up.
