I’ve dealt with a lot of homeschooled kids in my involvement over the years with the Boy Scouts. There are a number of parents that have good reasons for homeschooling and they take the appropriate steps to make sure their children get the proper education and utilize the right resource to actually get an advanced education moreso than they would get in the public schools. Then there are those that do it for the wrong reasons and aren’t people capable of properly educating their children. One family I will always remember. The oldest son who was in 7th grade at the time, struggled with math and the youngest son was like 5th grade struggled socially, so the parents pulled them from public school. Don’t know why the oldest bombed community college...
The family that did it right, homeschooled until middle school. The dad was a doctor and the mom was also super smart. They got the kids in a middle college program that allowed them to graduate high school with like 70 college credits. The two boys both graduated from the University of Michigan. One going to med school now and the other working on rockets out west. Lol.
Anyhow, there are good and bad ways to go about homeschooling. I’m not familiar enough with Desanto’s background other than what has been said since ncaas, so idk what his parents did or did not do.
I am currently working with a number of kids that are homeschooled. They come to my place of work to get some exercise and PE credit.
They're great. There is a cool sense of each of the kids "watching each other's back" and forming a positive team for each other.
I wonder if their "Sports Days" with us is the time they get to socialize outside of their home. But, with me, they're cool with each other.
