unique position in mind.
They are not required to get
a GED or take any other
special achievement tests.
Instead, they provide ad-
ministrators with a kind of
transcript showing what
subjects they have studied,
the texts used and the level
of accomplishment.
Mr. Lantis says there is
no truth to the notion that
home-schooled students are
less able, either education-
ally or socially, than those
who attend public and pri-
vate schools.
On the contrary.
"Home-schooled students
rank above the average in
terms of grade point and test
scores, and hold a larger per-
centage of leadership posi
tions here. In fact, they're
above average in every-
thing."
But what about students
who want to skip college and
get right to work?
Patrick Farenga, publish-
er of the Massachusetts
based Growing Without
Schooling, says he rarely
hears complaints from
home-schooled students,
with or without a degree,
about finding a job.
"A few universities have
resisted admittance, but
most have said, `If you get
past the SATs and other re
quirements, we have no
problem taking you.'
"It's the same thing with
employment. Job experience
and good recommendations
mean more than a high-
school diploma.
"How much does a high-
school diploma really mean
today, anyway?" he says.
"Kids are graduating from
schools and they can't read.
Think of (Microsoft founder
and multi-millionaire) Bill
Gates. He didn't go to col-
lege."
Often, home-schooled stu-
dents have had apprentice
ships or internships, which
employers appreciate, he
says.
"We deal with things on a
case-by-case basis. When we
first started seeing home
schooled kids go to college,
the schools didn't know what
to do. So we asked,
how do you handle a foreign
student, or a man who is in
his 50s and wants to come
back to school?
"If you're willing and cre-
ative, you can always come
up with a solution," Mr.
Farenga says. "Most places
{employers and universities]
don't want to turn down
someone solely on the basis
of a piece of paper," Cr
