<p>Justinian, what’s up with the shi-tty-a$$ attitude? Pipe down sonny.</p>
<p>Well Arjun, here in the US there are mixed views on homeschooling. Certainly those that get homeschooled can get into a good college if their standardized testing can backup their performance with their homeschooled subjects. And as Susan said, many of those who are homeschooled don’t just stay home all day and not interact with society. Many take classes at a local community college or even a few through a public High School. </p>
<p>The worry or discrimination for homeschoolers is that the parents my be lenient on the kids and just give them the A’s. One case in my school that seems to have sparked a debate is there is this girl who was homeschooled for basically all of the first 2 years of high school, but then took 3 classes or so during Junior year. They were all weighted classes (weighted A = 5.0 on a 4.0 scale), and she didn’t have to take gym, so that didn’t lower her GPA. Because of her situation she could get a perfect GPA of 5.0 entering onto her high school transcript (also our high school limits number of honrs classes for freshmen so she has a huge advantage here). So controversy is that she might be the validctorian if she continues to goto my high school.</p>
<p>You can see what arguments might come about here.</p>
