An excellent article in the Asheville Citizen-Times included one reason why colleges are taking more interest in home educated students:
The individualized attention and focus home-schooled students receive allow them to perform well academically, said Gerald Unks, a professor in the School of Education at UNC Chapel Hill.
?Home-schooled students outperform school-schooled students,? he said. ?That is to say that they learn more of the subject. They learn more history. They learn more biology. They learn more Spanish. They learn more of whatever they are learning.?
All the more reason to keep the state out of it.
