I home schooled my son from 5th through 12th grade.
He was a member of the home school honor society, president of his chapter, attended Boy’s State where he was elected governor, dual enrolled at the state university in 11-12 grades studying Russian language, culture and literature.
He tutored reading in the local public elementary school, won the Bishop’s Award for outstanding youth for service in our diocese, and attended the state university’s teen leadership program then served on the advisory board for that program.
That is just the things he did that immediately come to mind there was more, much more.

He has now graduated college, after being accepted everywhere he applied with scholarship offers.

What a great resume’, we have seen quite a few such success stories with homeschoolers. May it continue to grow and raise up among us real leaders for our nation.

It is heartening to read your comment. I have long been concerned that homeschooling would result in kids that were not well socialized due to not attending school. Perhaps I was wrong to worry about that. I do think parents who homeschool have to take this into account and work at it.

Your thoughts?
