“These homeschoolers are very self-disciplined and they have mastered the tools of learning – reading, writing and arithmetic so they can apply themselves virtually in any subject.”  What a positive spin.  The article also states that on the average homeschoolers who attend colleges have higher grade point averages. 

In another article, I found this comment; Not only are these students growing in numbers, but they are also some of the best-performing students, said Jones, who has done research on the collegiate performance of home-schooled students.  The article goes on to discuss that homeschooled students are academically capable of college level work and well adjusted to working with their peers.  Another interesting point that came oput in the article is that "We have found home-educated students to be good students with families that stand behind them."  This is intriguing, since most articles about higher education rarely discuss the families behind the student. 

Whatever the media drums up that is negative about homeschoolers, it appears that homeschoolers are shining through! 

These are my thoughts.
