Bill Gates needs to know that homeschoolers are teaching the leaders of tomorrow. We talk about the "Old Media" on FreeRepublic. Perhaps we should talk about the "Old Schools" as well. They are a Socialistic experiment that failed miserably.

Are their any data on the success of homeschooling in terms of going on to college or entering the jobforce?

Maybe Prince Billy can use some of his untold billions to help fix the problem, rather than just running off at the mouth.

He is right about the high schools. I hope that his message was taken to heart and that his suggestions will be implemented. Education is the key to our economic problems as well as many of society's problems.

But Bill Gates doesn't want to hire your home schooled kids, he would rather have the workforce in China or India. Just looks at all the remarks he has made about china in the past year.

Your kids would want too much money.

They are a Socialistic experiment that failed miserably.

Amen, and the "old schools" are being replaced by parents who care.

The Ivy League schools are already bidding for the home-schooled kids, who run circles around the government school graduates. If there is any innovation in the future economy, I think the home-schooled individuals will do it.
