"Go to homeschool"?
Am I the only one finding that a bit off?
You barely ever have homework, you got to school for an hour a week, and you still manage to have C's in all of your academic classes? Nice job!
@Blaziken: I was wondering about that too...

Yes, it would appear that his parents are even poorer at teaching proper grammar skills than most public educators.
O_o, not that kind!!!!!!!!! like chemistry, forces, motion, nucular, energy, sound and light, and the universe............. not what you're probably thinking. :|
and no, its not a parent teaching kind of homeschool, its an every week your teacher helps you with anything you need help with, but i never ask for help :P.
No, I go to a magnet school, 9 hours Mon-Thurs, either 6, 8, 10, or 12 hours on Friday, 6 hours on Saturday, and I've a lot of homework to turn in on the 26th.

For a home schooled kid, your grades suck. If you were going to public school, you'd have to do more work, but I think your grades would be better.

im so average. :(
that was 8th grade.
Okay...
How is that considered homeschool and not private school? You go to it, so I don't think it'd be homeschool.
I'm going to be homeschooled once I finish 9th grade (this school year). I'm about 1/3 done with all of high school though I've only been in it for about 65 school days :P
...ONLY 1/3 :( (I can't wait for school to end >:()

I was in homeschooling and it was easy. How are you getting such sucky grades? Graduated from highschool in homeschooling. Did my last 2 years there, super easy. :|
You might want to try a little harder.
For me at least, all C's isn't exactly...good.

some people have to try hard to get mediocre grades, while others can sleep in class and ace courses.
I suck at maths/sciences, but kick ass at arts. it's an achievement for me to get a "C" (70-80%) in any science or math class, but 95%s come with little work for me in English/history/music/georgraphy.

Yeah I'm terrible in spanish. I usually get A's and B's, at least at this new school, but in spanish i got a 77 (C).
C's aren't terrible, but they're not great.
Again, it's just my personal preference.
I'm in an okay public school with a 4.0 in all of my subjects.

And I've been homeschooled before as well, and I know what he's talking about. There are organizations for homeschoolers to be able to get "real" grades in order to go into collage and stuff. If you homeschooled without such organization, you couldn't really get anywhere good with your life.

Well yes, public school often has more serious flaws than home schooling, but it is often more accepted than home schooling. Home schooling's problems usually have something to do with the parents. My two cousins are homeschooled, one of them is my age and 2 grades below me. The other one is 9 and can barely read.
It's all about the parents and how strict they are.

Let me tell you about a story of my dad:
In high school, he took German. His grades were not very good in the class, compared to everyone else. 20 years later, my dad was in charge of the 20th high school reunion. At the reunion, he was the only person in the German class 20 years ago who still speaks perfect German. Everyone else in the class - those who got As and such - can't say a word. Not even the native Germans in the class could, but then again, 20 years of one language at a time can make you forget your own native language.

Now can he do all the necessary levels of math, English, physics, chemistry, biology, world history, U.S.(or Canadian) history, Latin, Spanish, French, Italian, or other foriegn languages offered in public schools, health, sex ed, physical education, government, economics, art, shop, cosmetics, as well as the many other subjects and courses offered in high school?

Why yes he can, actually (except for cosmetics). In fact, he was a Math, English, World History and Spanish tutor at one time, and even he teaches better then any of my current high school teachers, and he doesn't even have a degree to teach.
The only reason why I'm going to high school (besides all of the social stuff) is because it's easier to work with (in home school, it can be a pain to have to drive to the organization headquarters (what else should I call it?) and show the work you have done. It's a lot worse when you leave things at home, on accident).

Doesn't World History cover US and Canadian history, seeing how it's in the world? Also, I didn't really learn anything about government and economics from him, however, we do talk about them from time to time. And right now, dad is studying health and medicine, and has already learned stuff for physical education (at a collage level, of course). Dad has also made me and my brother's old bunk bed, our 2 couches, our chairs, and our old TV stand. Also, from what I have seen, he's pretty good with Photoshop, but is not good with hand drawing.
World history != north american history (well, as it's taught up here)
Canadian Studies (grade 11 course) takes the history of the chunk of land we now call The Dominion of Canada.
World History (Western Civilization) is a study of the European empires and their rise and fall through history.
World History (Geography World) is, well, Geography, and not History.
You don't study north america past grade 11 up here.
Over here, we do, seeing how it's world history, and North America is in the world.

yeah, it's covered, but the thing is, you've learned enough about north america already, so they take a higher priority on the rest of the world (considering how the course is an elective, and open to those who did the S level of the previous course, grade 11 canadian studies).

Anyone can be good in Photoshop. Learning how to actually be an artist and then being able to teach true drawing and painting skills is an art in itself.
And no, World History teaches you history in the grand scheme of things, the overall view on history. Which lacks depth. US/Canadian history would be a heavily in depth look at said nation's history.
And our political system is pretty much intercourse ed if it participants aren't properly educated about how it runs. So "just talking about them from time to time" won't cover it.

Oops! At the time it takes to read your most recent post, I remembered that I taking World Geography :V
Your father obviously isn't a very good English teacher.
Or this is him typing on the internet where you are not required to use perfect grammar and spelling (or not all the time)
Unless for sarcasm or humor, you should always use proper English.
Unless you are an idiot, you don't need to complain about improper English on the internet because you can understand what the person is saying just fine. Doing so would only ruin the conversation at hand.
Talking on the internet != writing skills.
My writing is atrocious. However, I spell everything correctly. I know how to suck up to teachers on essays, and my english marks this semester average each other out to about a 91%.
When writing casually on the internet, most people don't bother to put in apostrophes or to capitalize words. Why? Because you can tell what they're saying anyways, and it therefore doesn't matter.
I'm all for being a grammar freak, but not on message boards. it doesn't matter.
How hard is it to take those 2 extra seconds to type properly?

Exactly! Why can't people be more like you? Sure, it may be fun to make fun of other's poor grammar on the internet, but there's so many people on the internet who don't use their grammar that it's not really fun to do so.

Why does it matter if I capitalize my Is? I mean, I do it naturally anyways, but I don't really think it matters at all. Not everyone can average at 86 like I can, and for some, it takes quite a longer time to capitalize their sentences.
My point is that it just doesn't matter. You can still tell what I'm saying when I don't capitalize the start of my sentences. I hate it when people misspell words, that's what a spellchecker is for (though i don't think there is one here), but most people can spell fine anyways. If it irks people, yeah, I'll make sure my grammar is perfect, but on a casual message board like this one, it doesn't matter.
Now if you would ask me the same thing about more serious forums, I'd have a different opinion. But since you're on a lax forum, it's not something that is that important.
do you mean like a private teacher you go to see after school so she can help you with your homework. Those are called tutors not home school. But if you really mean home school then your a lucky kid 1 hour only 1 time a week. Your going to fail at life thought.

because some people are too lazy to do so, that's what it comes down to. you can tell what I'm saying regardless, and the point of forums is to get information across. as long as you're doing that in a convenient matter, why does it matter? Some people take forever to type, because they don't know how to type, or use the shift keps properly (in which case they should take classes, but anyways...). I think that as long as you're getting your point across, it doesn't irk me. Nobody is marking you, you're not talking to someone who is judging you in ways that you should deem important.

But overall, it just encourages bad typing and grammar. When typing actual papers, you will do that much better and have far few mistakes if you constantly type properly. It trains your mind better, instead of slacking off when it's not as "important" to be grammatically correct.

Because it just matters. It absolutely matters.
Maybe I'm the one who's different, or I'm the one with the problem, but I can't take people seriously unless their posts are at least reasonably acceptable grammatically.
I'm not saying that everyone should type like a scholar, but unless they meet at least middle school requirements, I can't take them seriously, and justifiably so. I learned how to write with proper grammar when I was in 6th grade. By then, I had enough knowledge from English classes to say what I wanted to say while keeping to the rules of English 90% of the time. Sure, I used a word wrong occasionally, but not often.
6th grade. Some on here may be young, but I really doubt that more than 1% of the members here are younger than or at the age of 11.
Look at some of the grammatically incorrect posts in this thread.
Can you honestly take that seriously? Would you trust that as a source? Would you enjoy having a conversation with someone who spoke like that?
Proper grammar just makes everything look so much more refined and intelligent, and for such a cheap price. The only thing you sacrifice is a little bit of your time. You gain so much more back in the form of intelligence and sociability. People will want to talk to you. You look "smart".
It matters.
I'm not gonna bother reading every1's posts, but err u have C's and home schooled??!?!? and have accessible Internet? U should have A's...
1. I don't care about my grammar on the internet, just my spelling. :P
2. it is more like an individual study education than homeschooling
3. wouldn't an individual study where you have a weeks worth of homework help you at least a little with responsibility and self discipline (which it is for me)
4. those grades were from a while ago, and my teacher game me the hardest books, its been like 3 weeks since then and I've been doing MUCH better grade wise.

Yeah, but some people will do badly on those papers regardless. :P
I normally practice good grammar, but sometimes I slack off (usually during one or two sentence (yeah, i agree, but...) things).
I can get my point across all the time, though. My english will never suffer because i decide to post on casual forums.
Honestly? I could type more double the speed (and accuracy) of my typing teacher. She was frickin slow.
PSEUDO EDIT:
If I want to be taken seriously, I'll type correctly, and I'll make sure that I haven't made any mistakes. However, if it's something that I really don't care about, I won't, so I won't be taken seriously, and I won't care about it.
However, in a forum like this, one-liner answers to questions like (you have to go in and out of hypermode to conserve energy, or else youll die quickly), shouldn't really be a big issue, I don't think. It's the bigger essay type posts that make the difference. If you don't need to be taken seriously, you won't type seriously. Someone who wants to be taken seriously will make an attempt to type well regardless of their typing skills.

I had to hold back the laugh that was about to explode from my mouth so I wouldn't wake up my parents when I read that.
It's grammar, dear.
i meant to do that *shifty eyes*, anyways, its fixed now. :D
You can't even quote properly. Wow.
And I can't navigate my way around an IRC channel to save my life... this stuff isn't that easy to learn if you don't want to put the time in...
though quotes should be easy. >_>
Now see if he had proofread his post, he would have seen his typing was in error and been able to correct his mistake ^______________^
But at the same time, the guy still got his point across, making a fool of himself or not. you can't deny that.

It took longer to get said point, since upon first glance it just looked like he quoted and didn't reply.

i don't proofread my posts in that much detail, i usually think the cpu or whatever will do the quote right like it normally does. i only check for spelling.

Yeah. People need to be able to work with quotes properly.

No, it shows that by not bothering to proofread, you make mistakes that make you look stupid. Often they're grammatical or ones like this, both easily fixed if people simply would proofread. And it's user error here, not forum.

how is it my fault!!! i press the quote button, type what i want to type, and post it. I usually expect it to quote it the right way because it normally does, but it didn't that time.

Yes, it was the forum's fault that his post looked like it was apart of a quote. Of course, that could be fixed by previewing the post, but even then, that's the worst thing that happen to you during a conversation. Anything else doesn't matter as much (unless the other user is all "i iz l33t lol")

If he could have fixed it, then he should have. It would only be the forums fault if there was no way he could have stopped his post form being in the quote.

Who's an idiot? Did I miss something? I don't see any idiots. I can't think about proper English right now. I am too focused on a conversation made out of pure letters and numbers.

Why does it matter if I capitalize my Is? I mean, I do it naturally anyways, but I don't really think it matters at all. Not everyone can average at 86 like I can, and for some, it takes quite a longer time to capitalize their sentences.
My point is that it just doesn't matter. You can still tell what I'm saying when I don't capitalize the start of my sentences. I hate it when people misspell words, that's what a spellchecker is for (though i don't think there is one here), but most people can spell fine anyways. If it irks people, yeah, I'll make sure my grammar is perfect, but on a casual message board like this one, it doesn't matter.
Now if you would ask me the same thing about more serious forums, I'd have a different opinion. But since you're on a lax forum, it's not something that is that important.
but y typ lyke dis
When you can type like this just as easily while making it that much more easy to read? It also doesn't make you look like a moronic twelve year old who can't tell the difference between their, there and they're.
I am completely against ppl tlking lyk dis.
i just don't think that grammar should be an issue. Spelling, yes. Grammar, No.
But if you take the time to properly spell, why not take the time to be grammatically correct as well?
Cause its a big waist of time.
Except even 6 year olds know the difference between waist and waste.
