Young people might not realize how important a college education is until they come face to face with friends who did not go to college and hear the horror stories they tell about how difficult it has been for them to find work. In small communities, the differences noticed between the two groups might be quite significant because the job offers seem to go to those that hold college degrees and the menial jobs are left open for uneducated people to fill. The importance of earning a college education will be truly noticeable on paydays because there will be a surmountable gap in the salaries that each person earns. The college graduate will naturally assume positions of authority in a large...

The application essay is the most crucial piece of writing the student will submit to the colleges, and, if not done impressively, it will also be their last.

As a homeschooling family, you enjoy maximum flexibility, superior academic achievement, and the educational freedom to study whatever you want, wherever you want, whenever you want. Now that's exciting and empowering. I homeschooled my children starting in the mid-1970's when virtually no one knew a thing about the subject. It was a tremendous benefit to our family. Of course, improved academic achievement is not the only reason to homeschool, but it is a very compelling reason. Most homeschoolers test years ahead of their non-homeschooled cohort. As a former teacher, I know how much time is eaten up in the traditional school environment. A great deal of time is spent in preparation for teaching...
