Then wouldn't that count against home-schoolers as well?
I homeschool, and I believe there had been problems of homeschoolers getting into the Military years ago.
It was solved in the Bush years, if I remember right.
But, that was before the cyber school thing started to take off. Some of the homeschool book dealers have the option of DVD’s or online classes now.
The standard, “oh, you need to do labs in a lab, so that computer class won’t count” meme is out there. But here is the reason. If brick and mortar schools aren’t as necessary, can you imagine the changes to the school system we have in place today? Thousands upon thousands of schools, and universities, will become obsolete. Along with most of the teachers.
This is why homeschooling has been such a threat to the established education hierarchy. Any concerned parent, regardless of their education level can give their children a good and solid education. The stratified school system is old and out of date.
I had two homeschool children get into the military. One got to be a linguist (Arabic) and one got in to the Nuke program. It can be done. Of course I taught them, they didn’t do charter or cyber school.

Not necessarily-My grandson had no problem enlisting as a home school graduate. The recruiter did talk to his mother- who had kept records of the class requirements he and his brother had done-
He is on his second tour now, Iraq the first time and Afghanistan currently.
