=:) I love Home Schooling.
As for a diploma, most home schoolers are under a church or other
organization. This group will issue a diploma upon completion. Also an SAT
test will establish the grades for college. There is no problem with home
schoolers in colleges we have had Harvard and MIT students out of home
schooling.
As for interaction at the same age. Do you work only with people your own
age? No, a child is going to get the interaction needed from the neighbors or
activities run by the Umbrella Home School Group. Our children go on field
trips and outings all the time with other home schoolers. The great thing is
we know who they are with and what there beliefs are. I feel that "Train up a
child" also means to control the environment that child is exposed to. and
home schooling does that.

Thomas Griffin spake thusly in a message:
TG> My first daughter (age 4) will be in school these next
TG> few years and she is very bright, I think that home
TG> schooling would be an option. My main concern is about
TG> those who get their high school diploma, and then can't get
TG> accepted into college if that is what they want to do, or
TG> can't work well with other people nad communicate poorly.
TG> Have anybody else heard of or seen these problems in
TG> home-schooled children?
What we are hearing is that colleges are MORE inclined to accept a
homeschooled person (due to their ability to read etc).
What makes you think the kids in "NEA" government institutions are
getting an education?
