It's cheaper too, LOL. Most dual credit classes in community college offer free tuition to homeschooled, as well as private and public schooled kids..local school boards cover the bill.
My son attended dual credit instead of high school, and earned his AA. He transfered 78 hours toward his major to the university. All 78 hours...tuition free.

But, but, but kids need to be taught socialism... er... socialization!
To: BinaryBoy
Heh heh!!
I enjoy reading these kinds of articles, and talking to some of the homeschool graduates here on Free Republic, because it demonstrates what I suspected all along...that homeschooled kids are going to do just fine in the world, despite all the warnings I used to hear to the contrary.

Not me. I turned out all weird and social inept. In fact I had to go to the internet to find anyone that would marry me. And even then all I could find was another one of those under-socialized homeschool types.

Best buy for the money. It just takes a dedicated effort by the parents.
Too bad the public schools are burdened with teacher's unions....

Yeah, and look where I ended up, in a male-dominated field and as an email-order bride.

A&M's actually a good school.
To: tx_eggman
Oh, but you must've gone to TU. :-)

Thanks for the ping! Clare did 5 classes at the Community College, and all but one transferred as college credits when she applied. That one was considered a high school equivalent class in Chemistry. It was required if she wanted to take the Chem with the lab. She decided she wanted to take Physics instead, and that transferred just fine.
She's enjoying being at school. She's in an apartment on campus with 5 other girls, and they're getting along nicely, so far. Having taken some classes at the Comm. Coll., she was ready for the University.

MA used to do Dual Enrollment, with the tuition being paid as though the kids were doing public school. They stopped that a few years ago, so we paid the tuition. It was still cheaper than a typical college!

Heh, I had a friend who homeschooled her kids, and when asked if their kids had a problem with socialization, she said, they sure do, they have entirely TOO MUCH of it! ;o)

Nice to hear they'll finally be getting a real High School diploma. Flame retardant suit on ..That is a good one. My daughter who we homeschooled for 12 years just started this week at Texas A & M. She advanced placed out of 25 hours, is a concert pianist, violinist, cellist, and floutist. She is as smart as a whip. We just didn't think she needed to interact with dope peddlers, bullies, and Bevis and Butthead to get socialized. She is also very beautiful. She is going into political science, then law school, then elective politics. She will be one of us.
