Not long ago our Online Think Tank tackled some of the criticism coming from teachers and College Professors about Home Schooled kids. One College Professor stated that academically they were a mixed bag. Some were extremely well schooled and others had problems in some subjects. However as one 17 year veteran college professor put it; they ALL had social deficiencies.

Of course the college professor did admit that she had not taught for about 20 years. Other more recent teachers although they did not approve of home-schooling did not give home schooling kids such a low report card on social skills. All these are indeed, interesting insights. Because it seems that Home Schoolers are more organized today than ever before.

The reason I say this is as I travel around the country and talk to folks it seems they are sharing and have huge groups online too to assist and there are some pretty large home schooling networks now online.

Some of the Charter Schools are getting better too as I see. I think education in America might just be the edge we need to stay on top as a nation. Personally, I enjoyed public school, class president, varsity sports, clubs on campus, but I also felt that it was under whelming in many regards; not good enough academically, more babysitting if you will.

So I ask what would you do to make things better? Should home schooled kids perhaps have a pre-re-entry course prior to coming into College? Why do I mention this, well because I do a lot of public speaking at colleges and one business college; University of Phoenix that I commonly speak at for MBA students and such, has a course that everyone takes to re-train them in how to best excel in the college, how to study and get the most out of it.

This might be the answer to the problem stated by college professor observers about the social issues of home schooled kids? I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
