I did my undergrad degree in math and a masters in financial economics. I worked for many years as an actuarial consultant. Now I am teaching...
I'm sure that some situations work out exactly as you've said. However, this is hardly a criticism of homeschooling. Rather, it's more a...
Sorry, but this is completely incorrect and makes little sense. When you say "many don't recognise it as a valid degree" are you referring to...

I'm sure there are sensible cuts that can be made. However, UC's budget is not much different from any another major public university. I would...
