Even the AP classes are BS. We looked at having our daughter have the AP stamp for chemistry. We could not because it was trade marked. If we wanted it she would have had to take a test to get it which we had to pay for. So we looked at what was tested during the AP chemistry test and it turns out 14 of 15 things not on the test she had already learned. Because they were beyond the scope of the class. So we skipped the test and put advanced chemistry on her transcripts. We figured if they asked we could explain it.

Long story short we told the college what classes she took and they said “home schooled right”. It is even apparent to the colleges that public schools are failing.

Indeed. Homeschoolers are sought after by colleges and universities for two reasons:

1) They are well prepared to thrive academically.

2) They are far less likely to have “drama” in their lives which is time consuming and expensive for the colleges and universities to handle.
