How to Prepare the Homeschooler For College Using Distance Learning Private Schools
The college admission process can be extremely competitive and so most parents would be more than happy if they found something which would be able to give their children the edge over their competition when it comes to the application process. Many of the colleges are reducing the numbers which are admitted each semester, and they are also upping the requirements to get in as a consequence. Most parents will try just about anything to make sure that their child is one of those lucky enough to get into their first choice college or university. It can be especially tough for homeschooling parents, although there is a competitive edge which can be gained by enrolling your child in a distance learning private school.
Many of the traditional private or public schools may not be able to offer adequate preparation to a homeschooled child to get them into a top college or university. Many of these schools are under-funded, under-staffed, and over-enrolled. This means that there will be relatively few of the students that will be able to achieve any kind of education there. This is probably not going to be desirable for most parents.

Quality Schools
After presenting these ideas at the NAREN (National At-Risk Education Network) in Wisconsin last week, I was asked to write an article that would be able to reach more people to spread the exciting word about Dr. William Glasser’s work in the area of Quality Schools.
There are many characteristics that are required in order for a school to be listed as a Quality School. There are currently 13 such schools in the country, with many more on their journey to become Quality Schools.
