In order to judge an educational program, you have to see first if the students excelled. One of the factors that made homeschooling popular nowadays is the fact that many and many children are showing excellence in different fields while attending homeschools.

One story was published by Sandra Frederick in Palm Coast News-Tribune on 1999. It was about a Palm Coast teen who got the highest possible rating on the Scholastic Aptitude Test which he took earlier in June of that same year.

The score he achieved even astounded the Boards because as they mentioned, it will be a rare feat to surpass it or even to level it.

Dan Skelly was a homeschool student since 2nd grade.



Another successful homeschooling stories are the ones made by the homeschool students who achieved the highest marks in American College Testing or ACT. They tied it up with the students in Rhode Island, whose teenagers have the highest marks among any other states in US.

The homeschoolers achieved an average of 22.7 over the 36 mark of ACT. The national average is leveled at 21.

The homeschoolers are also discovered to fare very well in times of competition. There was once a National Spelling Bee contest when all of the final contestants vying for the third, second, and first places are all homeschooled students.

Another success story is that of a certain teen named Josh Manion, who is a native of Janesville and a homeschooled student since his elementary days.

It was said that Manion once failed to enter Princeton because he cannot produce a high school diploma; it was his mother who painstakingly educated the young man until he is good enough for college.

This didn't frustrate the young man; instead, he kept on looking for an institution that will honor his credentials and his level of intelligence. He then landed an admission at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he excelled in the information technology department of that school. It was said he is being considered as the next big thing in the field of computer software and networking. The student, who's also a chess wizard thanked his educator - his mother.

There are still many successful homeschooling stories that are widely popular these days. These students are surprisingly adept to the challenges posed by the world outside their home.

This may be true but it is always wise to remember that the students are only as good as their teachers; it means that these teachers should be great and deeply committed in order to produce graduates who can excel. If you are a parent who is thinking about entering your child into homeschool, you have to ask yourself if you really are committed in providing quality education uncompromised by your own schedule and chores. You must be decided, determined, and highly capable in giving your child the best education comparative or even better to those students educated by state schools.

Your patience, intelligence, morals, spiritual conviction, and most all, your time are only few of the things required from you. Your child's future is in your hand and it's up to you if you can be one of the successful homeschooling stories we will all read and feel good about.
