Can a 23 year old with a Community college degree and full time employment still be considered a homeschool student?
Umm, what does the fact he was home schooled in the past have anything to do with it? There is no such thing as a 23 yr old homeschooler. From sources I’ve found he graduated back in 2013. Then proceeded to attend a college (you know where socialist/communist professors teach at?) Who the heck cares where his schooling came from? For every one case of homeschoolers there are thousands and thousands of cases of kids that come from brick and mortar schools that do horrendous acts too. He obviously was a troubled soul, and honestly you should be taking the time to find out why he did what he did. Who cares how he was educated as a kid? Other news sources also say he was 24 yrs old too.
How does one homeschool a 23 year old!? Please do explain. He was a grown man!! an adult who attended college. Not a homeschooled 23 year old.
Really … you could write a better title ? a 23 year old in community college is not Homeschooled.
PHEW, good thing he wasn’t a 23 year old public schooled kid. Imagine how lame that headline would be. ?
