Homeschoolers at College
BevK October 28th, 2005
I read the following article on the web and am using it for some unabashed parental boasting.
Colleges Welcome Texas Homeschoolers
While Texas homeschools often field inquiries from public school officials, social service workers, law enforcement officials, and employers who question their legitimacy, graduates are finding most colleges and universities eagerly accept them, and some are actively recruiting them.
The colleges’ newfound appreciation of homeschooled students is due in part to the efforts of a grassroots organization founded in 1986. The Texas Home School Coalition (THSC) was formed to advocate for homeschooled students’ rights after the Texas Education Agency (TEA) began seeking criminal prosecution for truancy against 100 homeschooling families statewide in 1985.
So, what do I have to boast about? Number one son just reported that he has all A’s at mid-term. Another homeschooled student making good. Yee Haw!
