Connie Sheehy ‘75 was quoted in the Boston Globe in an interesting article about home schooling.
Williams College admissions officer Connie Sheehy says, “We read home-schoolers’ applications just like any other application. They don’t get any special consideration, but they’re not discriminated against, either. Their applications are interesting, and they’ve certainly done independent work their whole lives.” The acceptance rate of home-schoolers at Williams is 20 percent.
Since Sheehy will probably be considering the applications from my daughters in 10 years or so, I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her.

Wow, that would be like a one-two knockout punch for creating the ultimate in sheltered children. Home school them and then cart them off to a school in the middle of nowhere with a student body of white J. Crew clones.
Personally, I think that if you go through all of the trouble of home schooling them up until high school – don’t wuss out at the college step – go whole hog and do home school for that as well. That way you can control what and how they think all the way through.

I resent that! Some of us are tan abercrombie wearers, and I know quite a few people who wear Izod and Polo.
