[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Homeschooling has a few camps

Meaning religious nuts not educating at all. To some parents who are highly educated source outside help and their kids head off to college.

I personally have never hired someone who was homeschooled and I would not. [/quote]

Very few kids are homeschooled K-12. Curious if you quiz applicants on their grammar school or even their high school. Professionally, I have never been asked about those years in an interview, nor have I ever asked an applicant when I’ve been interviewing. I don’t care how they are educated, I look for talented people. Some of them, it turns out, were homeschooled.

My daughter homeschooled for a few years because  she was doing a preprofessional ballet program. I encountered some religious families (I believe you termed them “nuts”), who didn’t have children in school because they didn’t care for the culture. However, these children were all well-spoken, doing challenging coursework. I did not share the same faith life as those families, but given the number of kids now in difficulty PhD programs and med school, those families were doing something right.
