Famous Homeschoolers

Did you know the following people were homeschooled? Next time you're in a heated debate with someone who tells you you're making a huge mistake, be sure to share this list with them! Not that everyone on this list is a genious mind you... or even someone to pattern yourself after, but it's interesting none-the-less.

After all the advanced exams like 70-271 and 70-536, students usually take a break until their next majors that are 70-642 and 642-845. Infact many rest until the rest of the 642-642 series is completed.
