My daughter was home schooled. When we took her over to the local community college, they gave her a test which she did very well on. The school said she could start taking classes if she had a diploma and a transcript. Using my college degrees as a template, I whipped up a diploma, calling our homeschool such and such Academy, myself as Principle and gave my wife some sort of title. I made up a transcript listing the things she had studied, with some exaggeration and gave her all A's. When the school asked for her diploma and transcript, I handed over the ones I had printed up. The advisor looked at them, laughed, and said that Texas did not have any laws that differentiated between a home school and a private school. Then he took them over and made copies of them, put them into her file, and handed the originals back to me.

What works in Texas probably will not work in other states. Texas has no rules whatsoever about home schooling. One just does it.

Maybe DameAutour could get one of those diplomas from you, Max Combined? If she takes a proctored Pre-GED or ASVAB or similar type of test and her scores are high enough, would you be willing to help her out? I have no idea if this is legal or if it would work. All she would need is just one college level class and then the high school transcripts become meaningless. It might be worthwhile for her to consider moving to one of these states like Texas (perhaps one is nearby where she lives) and take advantage of the loophole.

That is unthinkable here in the People's Republic of Hillaryland.
