Just some interesting info that you won`t see in your local news.
After years of being rejected by most universities, home-school graduates are now being sought by many universities. Why? Because in time those universities which have accepted them have seen that home-schoolers perform better as a group than do public school graduates; they are more self-disciplined, more mature, and have mastered the tools of learning. Barmak Nassirian, Deputy Director of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, says that it has taken about a decade for home-schoolers and colleges to get to know each other better. In other words, it has taken that long for the colleges to catch on.
Incidentally, home-schooled children continue to out-perform graduates of public schools. A study entitled "Strengths of Their Own: Home Schoolers Across America," which included 5,402 home-schooled children from1,657 families, found that home-schooled children scored 30-37 points higher on standardized tests than did public school students.
