My name is Joanna; I am a production
assistant for The Merrow Report, PBS's
premiere series on youth and learning. We
are currently in pre-production for a piece on
applying to college from homeschool.
Although the angle is undecided, we are
leaning toward the journey of homeschooled
seniors applying to major national
universities.
If you or anyone you know is graduating or
has recently graduated and fits this
description, you could be a focus for our
documentary and I would love to hear from
you. Also, any current issues in the world of
homeschooling that may be interesting to
cover are welcome ideas. Thanks, and my
email is jgc221@......hope to hear from
you!

Wes Beach might be the most knowledgeable person in California about
getting homeschooled kids out of high school early and into college. It
would make a rather startling media expose if people knew that kids
could just click their heels together three times and wish "there's no
place like getting out of high school" and, boom, they can be graduated.
Would it be a good idea to promote this, or do you think it would cause
trouble and government backlash?

I think it would cause no end of trouble and government backlash.
