This is true. Homeschooled students have a higher average acceptance rate (although studies can be manipulated depending on who gathers the data, so who knows).
But, having been homeschooled all the way through elementary, I will say there are some reeeaall wackos out there who do it (mostly for religious reasons). Then there are the parents who do it because they think they can do better than the public school systems (mine fall into this category).
EDIT: On topic, I'd want my school to cancel classes if they received a threat. We've been shut down due to weapons before, so they probably would. But missing a day of school at the same time as everyone else would just be sweet.
