What's your opinion on Homeschooling?

Hi all,
So, as of this year i'm Homeschooled. I thought it would be interesting to see peoples opinion on this subject hence I created this thread!

My Opinion:
Take a look at this quote.

I personally don't like the way Schools work (Oooo he's a rebel) No.. It just dosn't work for me. At School everything is so fixed, You wake up at a certain time, Learn certain things at a certain time, Hand in certain things at a certain time and so forth. At my school we has 6 55minute lessons in which we would listen to the teacher talk for 30-40minutes sometimes half a lesson and then if we're lucky we would have time to quickly rush our work and get it completed before the bell goes.

Suited for YOU!
You're the only student in your class. Your class is wherever you want whenever you want. I get sent my school work via the post or email and it has to be submitted by the end of the week and/or month. Meaning I get to choose when I do my school work and where. You can wake up, get a Mcdonalds breakfast and sit there for an hour and finish your schooling for the day; it's really that simple.

Receiving your own help
Instead of wasting my precious time listening to a teacher help the other 30students in a class or waiting for sometimes the whole lesson for them to notice my hand i'm able to call up the Homeschool i'm with and get a tutor out to my house OR receive help over the phone.

Working
Homeschooling makes it ALOT easier for you to work, I have a Job and i'm able to work ANY shift because I don't have to go to school 5 days a week. Meaning I get the same education everyone else does at school but i'm able to work more hours and gain more money, this prepares you for the real world and also lets you buy some useless stuff from thisiswhyimbroke.com

You're not alone!
Most people think homeschoolers are weird socially awkward humans who only choose homeschooling because they get bullied.
While this can be true for some; it's not for everyone. Homeschooling runs camps, sporting events & lots of outdoor activities for you to go meet the other homeschoolers in your area. Also you might suprised how many Homeschool kids are out working at your local shopping center whilst you're at school.

lol
tbh it's also really cool getting to choose when you do your school work, being able to sleep in till 2pm whilst getting great grades and DUH, being able to be more active on Graal..

So what's your opinion?

Im getting some kind of homeschooling after my surgery on friday but my home school teacher will come every week for 6 weeks.

Feel stupid.. Tired & my eyes didn't read the surgery part.. Hope all goes well in surgery! sure you'll be fine :D

Well, homeschooling is pretty good. That's why most people these days go for it. It also saves a lot .

:( Less time to spent with friends, and how'd you meet up with new pretty girls:p

And instead of listening to a teacher that doesn't have you going out well informed.. you could take lessons.
It all depends...

Meet friends after school in a more fun enviroment. Meet new friends who get homeschooled. Meet pretty girls who also get homeschooled.

It's the opposite you actually get more time.

And for the "pretty girls" you can get to move out and get to know more people along with pretty girls.

I personally would like to be in an online class, because I have most days where I rarely sleep, and I go off to my classes half asleep, or with bags under my eyes.

That's why I have spare makeup. They have makeup for guys too, yunno :(.

But yeah, I believe online school/homeschooling is the way to go.

1. You can wake up at anytime
2. You can work at YOUR own pace
3. There's no bullying
4. There's no overpiling of work (You have to finish a certain topic before you continue)
5. Most work gets done within 3 or 4 hours, like I said, depending on your own pace.
6. You have instant connection to an experienced teacher if you ever need help or have a question.
7. All teachers are focused on YOU, unlike public/private schools where the teachers expect you to focus on THEM.

If that's not enough evidence to switch, I don't know what is. I would switch if I wasn't being offered a scholarship already.

Only con is socialization. And I can say that with experience

It's pretty convenient, since your teacher will work with you and your own personal intelligence, instead of
the intelligence of a class average.

I find it more of a choice. You can go out and meet other people who are or are not homeschooled at Sporting Events, get a Job ect. Not all socialization is done in school hours, in-fact most of the best socialization for me has been after school hours. This varies depending on where you life and other factors that can come in to place.

The only thing why I stay to school instead of being homeschool is that I fell in love with a girl in my class. Quitting school would mean that I won't be next to her, smelling her perfume and talking with her ever again. :/

I had a friend that was home-schooled.... A very odd guy, anyway, that friendship was short lived.

Imo, public schooling is usually a hit or miss (usually a miss). Only focusing on the social aspects and labelling, you'll either end up being one of the cool kids, a "homie hopper", farming tool, introvert, nerd, or that loner who keeps on being bothered by others.

School is just a way to get with the real world. If you stay isolated with a parent or a teacher in your home, it'll suck. You won't be ready for reality.

Get bullied? A test to show your strength. Bullying is a way to get your stronger, but it doesn't apply to all kids.
Some kids just quit.

Strict exams, teachers, and homework?
Exactly the real world. Would you seriously prefer a place where they aren't that strict? One person can be strict, but it shows his character to you. Knowing more teachers' character would be better.

Bad you will focus more on Graal era and not on school.

Hey, as long as you're being properly educated, I don't think it should matter.

Personally I prefer going to school
Since theres things you can learn at school
That you cant do at home

Just to clarify there are deadlines on when work should be submitted. I end up teaching myself most of the work. I have friends who are homeschooled & we do school together usually. It's still the same curriculum just in a different enviroment.

I think it can definetly make a stronger and more intelligent impact on academics but I couldn't have survived highschool without my friends so I really do think the non-social aspect of it can negatively impact a teenager in more ways than one. To be honest though, I'd sacrifice friendship for academics if I could go back in time.

Home school or a private school is great. Public school can make or break you though, depending on the area you're in and the curriculum of the school. My school was very diverse and well... highly gang oriented so yeah... influenced by street thugs and drugs wasn't a great way to kick my high school years but at least I still graduated.
