I'm yet another proud grandmother of two home schooled grand daughters. The oldest was a gifted student and got a full scholarship to a prestigious University when she was 17 yrs old and is doing very well. Her SAT scores were in the top 10% for the country and she was inducted into the National Honor Society as a gifted student. She is already picking out International Universities to further her education overseas. The younger one is not as gifted, but will follow her own path to success when the time comes.
They are both great kids and a joy to be around. Home schooling is not like "Little House on the Prairie" any more. As the other poster said these kids have to be evaluated every semester by the State. They also have to buy their classes and one of the classes cost my daughter-in-law over $1,000 and she still has to pay her taxes for the public schools. They are also part of a home schooling cooperative, attend lectures at Museums - you name it, they are very educated young people. They are also on the East Coast in NH.
I should add that the Principal of the local high school in their district home schools his 7 children - and that was the decider for my son and his wife.
