For home-schoolers: Parents and Students --- what are your education success stories?

[Barb]

This is for home-schoolers to answer. Please tell all about your personal success with an at-home education. And it is okay to tell about other people too.
I have enough stories that I could write a book!
I'd like to hear some of yours.
Everyone that wonders if home-schooling is good or bad should read all about the best parts of studying at home.

My sister home schooled all of her children all the way through. They became so motivated they would often wait at the mail box when they were expecting a new text book.

All of them learned to be self motivated. They were tested at the local public school once a year to make sure they were keeping up. In every case they were way ahead to the public school.

People said they will be social outcasts. They were somewhat that way, which means they bypassed the sex and drug syndrome which was rampant at the public school.

Now all of them are grown and have gone on to college and have excellent careers. They are not social outcasts. They are a credit to our society. Home schooling is one of the finest things parents can do for a child.
