LOL. I’m way too old to have been homeschooled. Try again.
Wife Swap is hardly an authoritative source on homeschooling, but you were the one who brought it up and used it as evidence against homeschooling. I didn’t start that. One weird case out of the millions who successfully homeschool. So what?
Anyway, the point of the article is that public schools are inadequately preparing kids for college. I saw it over twenty years ago when I went back to finish up my degree now my daughter is still seeing it at college. Nothing has changed. The failure of the public school system is enough of a reason to homeschool and just another one we homeschoolers use; one of many, all valid.
Your right. I was just having some fun. Trust me, Everyone on FR who are great people...all of us know that the public school stink and really hate the fact that we still have to pay for them even though most don’t even use them. Have a great day!!! Wife Swap is a stupid tv show that actually is very embarassing for the families.
Maybe the point of the article ought to be the colleges that are admitting students who aren't prepared, so that they can get those tuition dollars.
If students who weren't prepared weren't allowed in, maybe more students would work harder in high school.
I had a student several years ago who was not taking college prep courses, and scored under 500 on her SAT. (That's what she said her combined SAT score was. This was before the essay part was added in, but I didn't know one could score that low.)
SHE WAS ACTUALLY ADMITTED TO A COLLEGE! The other teachers and I could not believe it. I have no idea whether or not she needed remedial courses, or if she is still in college.
