The chief operating officer of a marketing and networking firm is lauding the achievements of home schoolers.
Josephine Nicholas is the CEO of Published Daily, a firm started by her brother and run with the help of two other siblings. All four were home-schooled. Josephine says, according to research, home schoolers typically score higher and are more ambitious than their peers. "Once they're graduating -- and many of them are actually graduating younger than their peers -- and as they graduate they're moving into society in general," she notes. "Whether it's going and getting a job and really being productive in the work force, or actually many of them are creating their own jobs and creating jobs for others by starting their own businesses." Another area Josephine says home schoolers are very well-respected is in the area of public service. "...[T]hey are very interested in actively contributing to community service activities," she points out. "So rather than being very self[-focused] -- you know, looking at themselves and finding what they can do for themselves -- they're actually giving back to their communities." She adds that their peers who are not home-schooled tend to be more complacent in this area.
