		<description><![CDATA[I was just informed by my nephew that some of the hospitals in the Tyler area are also doing this same discrimination by asking for high school diplomas even though the students have an associate degree from the local college. I cannot believe the hospitals are able to get away with this.Very sad!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sadly the HR employee is a product of American as hooks who have removed instruction on logic and rhetoric and has not learned enough critical thinking skills! The inability to transfer information such as from a law into application in a real job shows flaws in cognitive ability. Our society is being dumbed down through the schools.

Sermon does not know they just missed out on hiring a gem.

Just had he nicest medical assistant with the best phlebotomy skills at my new doctor&#039;s office and come to find out she was homeschooled since birth. 

So sorry for this discrimination.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The uninformed and negative attitude of the Seton HR is very unfortunate.  I have seen information that on the average, home schoolers out perform high school graduates. In this case the fact that the applicant passed a college entrance exam is certainly sufficient to demonstrate scholastic aptitude.  Hopefully the management of Seton will review the facts and reconsider their position.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First of all my time is sparing as I have two daughters in Jr high whom we home school, work from home running my own Executive Recruiting &amp; Employment Consulting business so I could be MORE available to my “adopted from the state children”, and support their needs financially/emotionally to the best of my/our abilities.  My husband works in/out of the home in a full time position.  We are both college graduates who never envisioned homeschooling, but due to the emotional needs we are doing it!  My biggest fear was how I would do it?  Due to the fabulous example of one family down the street I did the research and took the plunge. I wish I would have started HS earlier on, but no looking back.

In the world of recruiting and retaining top employees it take some decision making, and with some positions requiring various education levels to find, invest and retain the best employees you must be diligent at screening candidates.  We consult our clients with the full life cycle of an employee, and the cost savings if the decision is made as humanly accurate on the front end.  To follow a policy is understandable, but to communicate it in such a discriminating manner goes against all good judgment in recruiting top quality candidates to apply.  This recruiter clearly does not, nor did not understand what they are missing when they discriminated so aggresively against this young man as an employee for their organization.  They have already invested all the interview time, and administrative time to make the offer.  Depending on the policy and the organizations ability to examine each situation they could have at minimum explored the possibility of many other options than that of which they/she did.  More time &amp; money is now being invested to fill a position as they review your , Tim Lambert,  letter, communicate within their organization about how to respond, hopefully discipline and/or re-educate the recruiter mentioned…..and they didn’t get a hire.  That is a huge waste of time and money.  I’ve got client who will make exceptions to hiring candidates with much bigger issues in their background with more success than in the article.  

My take away is that Seton Hospital needs someone new, reformed, better educated, or stronger to head up their HR department to help Seton be a more profitable company.  All employees at all levels are the “face” of any organization, and the folks in management have to take responsibility for change to improve the business.  I would love to hear the outcome of the story.  I would not want my son to work for Seton under these circumstances however; I would want him to lead by example, and hold his head up into his next opportunity.  Sounds like Seton missed out on a great employee opportunity, their bad.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Federal laws??? Well, my 2 oldest sons, who began high school in TX, graduated after we moved to MD and are both working great jobs. BOTH have received a security clearance with their respective employers!! How&#039;s that for federal laws?! I&#039;d find it hard to believe a hospital would need more stringent laws regarding hiring than it would take to consider someone for a clearance to do work on projects of national security nature! Hope they &quot;see the light&quot;!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Tim,

Would it make any sense to ask to compare these two statistics:

- The number per hundred thousand public school students who have later committed felonies,
    AND
- The #/100,000 who did so after being home schooled?

Perhaps we could get &quot;school control&quot; (and put the public schools under the administration of those people who succeed in making our nation safer.

or maybe just &quot;ban public schools&quot; altogether.  
This would make our nation safer, would it not?

What are the actual statistics?]]></description>
