[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is not homeschooled, but I do think that for some families it can be the right answer. I do have some questions for the homeschoolers out there though, just b/c I'm curious. When your DC gets to college, how do you send transcripts in? Obviously you do, and obviously children are accepted into very good schools, just wondering how those assessments work. Also, I know many have stated that bullying and shyness or "fitting in" seem to be a pretty common theme. How do you deal with this as your DC gets older in terms of eventually moving on to either HS (for those who mainstream then) or college?  Are there special science classes that you can send homeschoolers to so that they have access to lab equipment for experiments? TIA[/quote].

Different colleges have different application requirements for homeschoolers.  Sometimes parents create a traditional transcript.  Sometimes students compile portfolios.  Sometimes more emphasis is placed on SAT/ACT/AP scores.  It just depends on the college.

My mom created a transcript for my siblings, but they had all also been taking community college classes during high school, so hey had those transcripts, as well.  They all attended private colleges that welcomed homeschoolers.  I am just starting high school with my oldest, and we will conform to what her ambitions require when the time comes.

More answers will have to wait til we get home from the pool :)[/quote]
