Homeschoolers make up over 1.1 million people in the USA. Obviously this is a very mixed bag, I remember reading one estimate of unschoolers within that being between 20 to 40% but for the life of me I cannot remember where I read that and how they came to that figure!
What ever the case it is interesting that Universities there are tailoring pathways for homeschoolers. You can read more in the Yahoo News article Homeschoolers Find University Doors Open .
From my point of view having been a University Lecturer in a previous guise… I wish I had more free thinking, internally motivated and lateral unschoolers in my classes back then!!! You can read my experience of school leavers entering University in our article An Unschooling Journey – from Control to Connection
