Have you had much experience with home-schooled students at the college level ?

Yes I have, and on balance they are a pure joy to have in class. The homeschooled students get their work done, contribute to class discussions at a level much higher than their peers, and turn in papers that are not painful to read. Which reminds me, I have to order another 55-gal drum of red ink for the assignments I need to correct later today...

College is a little more structured than what the typical homeschooled student is used to but they rapidly adapt - I think they want even MORE structure than less.

Thanks ! My son does tell me that he is usually one of the first kids to answer questions or add to discussions (we did a lot of "read and discuss" work together at home), he has also taken "outcasts" under his wing in Chemistry--the kids who no one else wants to work with because they're "a bit slow" -- and they're now doing very well on lab assignments

I had to LOL at this -- I have to order another 55-gal drum of red ink for the assignments I need to correct later today...
