What are any advantages/disadvantages of homeschooling?

[Hiiro326]

I  go to a charter school. Basically I go once a week for about 2 hours to take tests, they give me packets and I go home.

My grades have risen from Ds to As since I moved to this school.

I still make friends because I'm a mall rat and a bunch of my friends are already out of school, so it's not a problem for me.

maybe K-12. what are some other ways of going about it? or does everyone just use that

not everyone lives in a safe neighborhood/lives near other children

well I live in an apartment. there are a buncha kids, and it's quite safe as well. there are a lot of Korean starfishs, but they won't hurt you

are your teachers so bad that you can just switch them out for your mum? really?

no, I have nothing to learn from my mother

paste from last topic

now i've actually skimmed through the topic. still not with you guys on this

yeah, home schooled kids are free to go socialize when they want. what they're still not exposed to are the social pressures every kid faces during normal schooling. you guys can't match the inevitably forming social classes that all schools eventually have. why's that important? life still has a class system, have fun being royally screwed up by not understanding the system and where you fall.

i'd also love to see the statistics of home many home schooled kids get a girlfriend/boyfriend during their schooling. i'd bet it'd be severely reduced, because the interaction is something that has to be done intentionally rather than boys just being with girls because they're your classmates. why's that important? school is where you learn how to interact with the opposite love so that by the time you're out in the world you're not a bumbling virgin who's awkward to touch someones hand or grab someone around the waist. no girl is going to think you're cute not knowing what you're doing, there are probably a 100 better looking normal guys that do.

we had 4 home schooled kids join us in our last senior year for high school. they all performed pretty well academically, so good on them. by the time we had hit that last year, the whole year was one giant group who all ate together, talked together, nobody left out - all inclusive. the 4 home schooled kids were as awkward as forget and i don't think ever made eye contact with another person, let alone talked to us.

point is, there are a lot of hard lessons you get during schooling that you're not going to be able to replicate at home unless your mummy decides to become a bully or hire a girl to flirt with you.

Actually, it will make it a lot easier to get into a good college. If you have a high enough SAT score to get into the college, they will likely accept you due to not having a GPA to go off of.

K-12 isn't your only option.

There's Ecot. and lots of others.

I've been homeschooled for about 4 years. It depends on your method, but you usually learn alot more in less time, you get to work at your own pace, you don't have all of the classroom distractions, and like alot of people here say yes it makes it easier to get into a good college. And yes there are some downsides, but it's mainly the very limited social interaction. In my situation homeschooling has been working for me much better than any other schooling, but it really depends on your preference. I work off of textbooks for different subjects but you can also do it online.

he's referring to "the rest of his life" as the past, this statement is grammatically correct.

you must be homeschooled because that is grammatically incorrect

he should have said his entire life, rest of his life infers the future

homeschooled children score better on english tests fyi

way to bash on the Home schoolers.

They're literally no different than Public schoolers (besides Home Schoolers aren't into as many drugs are Public Schools).


It's the Public schoolers that make the Home schoolers "Different"

You get to learn while wearing pajamas. And you get to be in your comfortable house instead of a tiny room full of kids and desks.

You get to learn while wearing pajamas

this is the greatest thing about it

yeah i was just messing around

pub schools are stuff when it comes to grammar

I've been saying that I've been in a public school system my whole life. the lack of socializing is unimportant, and there won't be any chance of it meaning I wouldn't gain any social skills

you would just ditch your friends and stay at the house for like all day?

I don't know any of them well enough to care. the only friend I've had who'd be worth staying for left two years ago. idk if not getting to know others was an accident or not, honestly
