GWOB Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 So we all know that Tim Tebow was homeschooled. In the Tebow thread, someone mentioned a Patriots player was also homeschooled. I had no clue. Can we make a list of famous/well-known/popular homeschoolers? I have one contribution: Chris Klein-Kansas State QB (and often compared to Tebow) Any others?

acurtis75 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 NBA player Blake Griffin was homeschooled until high school. I believe he went to high school because of his athletic ability. I googled to try to confirm what I remembered and found this link of other prominent homeschoolers. http://www.thebestcolleges.org/the-worlds-15-most-extraordinary-homeschoolers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Susan Wise Bauer :D :tongue_smilie: Well yes! Smarty pants:lol:. You were the one who posted about that Patriots player. My kids and I love discovering successful (well, popularly successful) homeschoolers. It's a bit of validation for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingChris Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Well on another similar note- two of the Republican presidential candidates have homeschooled their kids- Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum. I can't remember if we have ever had even one homeschooling parent or former homeschooling parent run for President. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astrid Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Seems like that would have been in the media... I certainly haven't gone looking for the info, (not a Republican) but I've heard this about both candidates. astrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acurtis75 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Thanks for that link! My kids loved it. You're welcome. I enjoyed reading it myself as I hadn't heard of several of the people featured. I plan to read some of the stories with my daughter tomorrow. It's always fun to read about successful people who were homeschooled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma23peas Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 My son had to research pro players who were homeschooled when we were trying to get the bill passed here he found great quotes from Jason Taylor...he is a top notch man of character!

Theodore Roosevelt was sickly and thus home schooled. President 1901-1909 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
