Reply #361: Some ways tp verify beyond a diploma

[DonCoquixote]

One: SAT SCORES. If a kid had a decent SAT score, you do have a quantifiable, nationally accepted standard you can make a judgement on. Yes, you can criticize the SAT, but it is a third party that proves that the person can at least read and count at a certain level.

AP English exams. Again, these are National tests that can assess how well someone reads.

Now, if a parent that homeschools does not make sure their child has a third party means of proving their skills, then it is their fault, but we should not just say "if they did not go to a school like we like, screw them." Then with their Job outlook ruined, they may have no means of breaking away from those fundie parents you hate so much.
