How old were they at the community college?

Many home-schooled students take classes at my community college. Depending on the education level of the parents, they actually seem to do better than the traditional high school students. I say depending on the education level because when some parents aren't strong in math, for instance, their children seem to be the same way.

Another advantage I see is that the home-schooled children appear to be more mannerable and interact very well with "authority figures" and have a more mature air about them. Lots of the students that I see are involved with other activities, so they're not just at home and in the books.

Which leads me to the "disadvantage". I do see some h-s students that seem to be lacking socially, because mom and/or dad are always talking for them and doing for them, but I wouldn't say that's the majority.

I realize your son is a kidlet, so this probably didn't help you a whole lot, but it's something to think about/look forward to.
