Title: What is it like to be homeschool'd?
Post by: Pokesamrus on October 10, 2007, 05:33:27 PM
I would say lame, but your opinion?

At least for elementary school, I must say it kicks ass. You get crap done faster becuase you don't sit around waiting for everyone else to finish working. And, you can sleep in.

I would imagine it is pretty lonely, but you can advance a lot faster.

I had to do it for half of 7th through 9th grade. It wasn't really home schooling, it was a charter school, but it's school at home. It sucked. The only good thing about it was I didn't do any school work for those years, but I got a 3.5 for the entire time.

I'm in public school now and I like it a hell of a lot more than home school. It's so much better to be around people. ;o

Uh... like totally awesome. It owns public school in like every way:
1. You don't have to be around other kids
2. You can actually learn stuff, unlike public school
3. You can learn at your own speed
4. No pointless assignments
5. Lenient schedule
6. Way more leisure time
7. The comfort of staying at home
8. You don't have to be around tons of idiots
9. No mandatory pointless classes like electives and P.E.
10. You don't have to be around other kids

...yes, 1 and 10 is worth mentioning twice >_>
I might be able to be home schooled starting next year ;D

EDIT: Oh ya, a few others:
11. Better lunches
12. No heavy book bags
13. Ability to type up more things
14. Lenient schedule is worth mentioning twice, you can have breaks and weekends last whenever you want within reasonable boundries and can wake up whenever you want
15. Way better cleanliness, especially if you have to use the bathroom >_>

It's probably not bad except that you don't get to be around other people.

1. That's not a good thing.
2. I learn things, a lot of educational things.
3. Public School goes fast enough for me :D Just right about, advanced isn't too slow.
4. You win me thar.
5. You win me thar.
6. Sure, but that promotes too much slacking and laziness.
7. You win me thar.
8. I don't care, they are funny and cool at times, or fun to mess with :D
9. POINTLESS? P.E. is the BEST class in the school athletic and fun and a break away from work and athletic. Everyone needs it.
10. That, again, is a horrible thing and I would hate it so much.
11. Just pack or buy.
12. Builds up strength.
13. Typing is boring and I prefer writing by far.
14. You win me thar.
15. So what, dirty bathrooms aren't the worst, they have janitors to help you.



Thing is, my parents have lives, pretty much, they work, and home school takes away opportunity of extra money for no good reasons. If a parent fears public schools, unless they live with a bunch of gun fights, they are lame. They do just fine and make the smartest of kids. Plus, why would you hate social interaction? It is one of the greatest things alive. The other kids are cool, and no reason to not want to be around others unless you are a complete loser and want to live life w/o friends and become a child molester.

GODLY

-Hasn't done a darn thing since I was put on homeschool xD- The only downside for my predicament is I have to catch up on six years of school work in one year to get my high school diploma.

I don't want to have idiotic friends... I don't think I even want any friends in real life...
I've gone through about 9 and a quarter school years in public without friends and went along fine, doing three years in homeschool without any friends would be a breeze.

seriously, being a loner isn't that good for your health. I'm serious, at least one friend to be by your side or something, it can really help you, loners tend to have serious mental issues when they grow older. Remember that Cho guy from the Virginia Tech massacre, he was a loner, he starts righting deranged poems and murders others and takes his life. And it wasn't him as much as it was he was a loner.

Yeah, we are more idiotic. And don't get your theories from TV and the internet and crap, high school isn't geeks, jocks, sluts, emos,  nerds, and goody-goods and wars between them.

I'll be honest with you.

Yes.

But I would much rather be homeschooled than go to public school.

Public school aren't bad! Why do they have a bad rep! TV lies and your parents twist facts! Do you live in a place with a bunch of violence or a bunch of sluts? If not, then public schools aren't bad at all, and interaction with people is great. I hate one thing about summer break, many kids cry when it is summer break time, and this is because most of us leave each other and the good times and such.
