A homeschooled professor has won the 2009 Nobel Prize for Physics. Without his inventions, we'd not have digital cameras or phone cameras etc. He says his #1 influence was his mom who homeschooled him. I cannot post the exact link, as I've only been a member here for 5 months(!), but the full story can be viewed at homeschooling-network dot com website (its quite a big link from that homepage). Examples of homeschooled greats is irrefutible proof against skeptics of homeschooling I reckon. Ciao, Anna
An excerpt and a link about Willard S. Boyle. As a young scientist ... In the late 1920s, when Boyle was about three, his family moved from Nova Scotia to Quebec, where his dad was the resident doctor for a logging community called Chaudiere, about 350 kilometres north of Quebec City. Instead of a car, they got around by dog sled. Boyle received no formal education and was home-schooled by his mother until high school. http://www.science.ca/scientists/scientistprofile.php?pID=129
