I'm taking off for an open house at Brown University with my homeschooled son in a few minutes. He will also be applying at Stanford. This article is timely and encouraging! An omen, maybe? LOL! He'd sure love to go to Stanford and he's also a high achiever, so maybe he has a chance!

Thanks for posting this this morning. :-)

Hope all goes well with your son. I've always believed that homeschooling (the right way) teaches kids how to learn, and that is what prepares them for college.

I coasted through high school getting straight A's without learning how to learn. When I started my college education, that quickly became my biggest obstacle, and I had to take a crash course in learning. My kids won't have that problem.

What proof are you required to provide? SAT score and an essay?

Please let us know which outstanding university your son is admitted to. And please consider spreading your home education success story far and wide.

Um...don't choose Brown or Stanford. Way too liberal.
