Schoolhouse rocked
No longer just for the religious fundamentalists, home schooling has gone
main stream, especially in Massachusetts. It's estimated that as many as 20,000
children here have abandoned test-crazy public schools and high-priced private
schools for the comfort of the living room couch. But most surprising of all
is that Harvard, BU, Brown, and other colleges are welcoming home-schoolers
like all other students.

You may have to copy and paste that link, clicking on it didn't work
for me. Some of the article is about Maureen Carey's daughter who goes
to Harvard. Maureen talked at the South Carolina conference about how
her daughter was a total unschooler and ended up not only getting INTO
Harvard, but getting a full scholarship.

Interesting article. It always amazes me that the stereotype of awkward, sheltered, deprived "homeschooled" students is still out there.
Hey - I have long grey hair and wire glasses and no makeup: I didn't know that I was a "Cambridge type." And I want a t-shirt that says, "We're never home. And it's not school." I think I may make myself one.
