Do they? It wouldn't surprise me if they were on food stamps and welfare but pretending not to be because they're Bible-bangers and want to feel they're part of the GOP.

That depends on a lot of things! Some colleges require a lot of extras that traditionally schooled children do not have to submit. If there are no "transcripts" of sorts, then they must show what type of work they did, get recomendations from the community, write extra essays, etc. And of course they also use the SAT's, ACT's and PSAT scores. Generally, most homeschooled children have a lot of character refrences they can get recommendations from and are heavily involved in the community and extra-curricular activities, so most of this is not a problem. And this is only for those kids who do not have any sort of traditional transcripts.

I would say, most homeschoolers are able to give actual transcripts... and not ones that are just "created" by their mothers. I'm not going to go into all the various ways of homeschooling, and where the transcripts come from.. that would entail writing a book!

Oh, that definitely convinced ME that keeping kids out of a social life, and teaching them Creationism is an excellent option!!! Woohoo!

So you didn't watch the video! But you'll watch a reality TV show and base your opinions on that?? LOL!! IF you had any credibility on this subject (and that's a BIG IF!) you just lost it! LOL!

I did. With specificity - what part of the video did you believe would convince me that homeschooling is a good thing for kids?

I'll do that after you tell me, with specificity, what part of the video gave you the idea that he's being taught creationism and being kept from having a social life?

I've already posted plenty on this thread, that I don't intend on copying and pasting here. I strongly urge you to go back and review what I've said about homeschooling. I'm quite familiar with homeschooling, as I've seen it up close and personal. It's undesirable in every conceivable way.

So, again, you did not watch the video and cannot comment on it accurately, but are holding to your preconceived mis-perceptions! Great! Just confirming what I already said.

I have read your many posts highlighting your obvious LACK of knowledge on the subject of homeschooling... and the lack of knowledge you have is quite impressive... especially since you continue to cling to your outdated and biggotted stereotypes!

Maybe you should watch the video and see what homeschooling is actually about... maybe you can learn something!
