Which would be my point - typically homeschool kids have very involved parents and therefore get a strong connection to family as well as a good sense of self. I don't think socialization is an issue. However we have discussed the problems they may have getting into a top university, but there are a few strategies to avoid that depending on the kid: 1.) Summer school with accredited schools/universities, 2.) 1 year at a non-premium U and then a transfer, or 3.) Public undergrad w/4.0 top grad (still puts you at a disadvantage over other kids) However most kids don't need/want a top U education but for those looking to fast start who want to compete with top students, they'll have problems. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Save $10 Download ZoneAlarm Security Suite http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=66 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:160213 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
