Discrimination, and economics, seem like different topics to me. We changed the subject, as often happens here on the forums.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree a topic does change and get derailed but I do think that the financial aspects of homeschooling comes under the OP topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This question is also to those who send their children to private Christian school. I'm not a mother, but I was homeschooled myself. My personal experience as an adult out in the 'real world' and having only been home-educated has been a positive one. I am actually self-employed and run two small businesses. I'm in contact with my clients every day, and every one of them have been thoroughly impressed with me and are always surprised to find that I was homeschooled. That usually makes them more impressed. ...My brother (he and all of my siblings were homeschooled as well) was always praised because of his strong work ethic, knowledge, and skills. My 18-year-old niece, who too was homeschooled, is constantly being praised by her boss and fellow employees because of her professionalism, skills, and complete competence. When homeschoolers are given a chance in the workforce, the vast majority almost always prove successful and impressive. They often end up the favorite employee. Obviously, this isn't always the case, but for the most part, yes. No matter how one learns (and we all learn differently), a more one-on-one teacher/student experience is almost always going to prove most beneficial.
