<p>‘…Does this make any sense? I certainly have run into people who get very irked and querulous when I say that my daughter was homeschooled, even when I only mention it because they themselves asked where she went to high school…’</p>
<p>Oh, SO TRUE!!</p>
<p>I mean, really, I think high school is a scam! And sometimes I tell people that. They just can’t wrap their brains around the fact that my son has never had to jump thru all those hoops - take all those tests, etc. They ask, ‘So how is he in college already?’ to which I reply ‘Well, he just took the Accuplacer test, and he’s in’ and then they ask ‘Well what about the SAT’ to which I say ‘Well he might take it if he wants to, for scholarships, but he doesn’t need it to go to college.’ </p>
<p>They just really can’t handle it at all.</p>
<p>You are right: there are some scholarships available to freshmen only. And that is true about the 4-year thing - my son is interested in PLAN II at UT so may end up doing that if he gets accepted. But some of his credits would still transfer, so he’d have a lighter load. Unless he really had his heart set on it (which he doesn’t) I really don’t see any reason to get him into an expensive private school and lose all those credits, when we have such a good state school virtually in our back yard, that will accept most or all of his credits.</p>
