High School Diploma Not Required?

Yes, I homeschool, and I’m very clear about how to get my son into all of the colleges he is most interested in–which are mostly colleges that explicitly say that they don’t require high school diplomas. My interest in this issue goes back to my high school days in the 1970s, when I had several very bright classmates who dropped out of high school because they found it so boring, but who still got college degrees in various demanding subjects. I got my high school diploma, but I wish I hadn’t wasted my time in the high school I was stuck in but instead went to college early, which is a chance now readily available to my children because of subsequent law changes here.
