[earthquake]

ok but like...all the people hating on actually going to school need to stop the hate for a sec..for the most part we're trying to be respectful but like...completely going off about how much homeschooling is better than normal school is kind of crappy on ur part...

honestly @mango do u even know what youre talking about like its against the law not to have air conditioning in the school during may/june and same with heat in the winter months....

also?? some people, like me, have intense issues with their parents which is why we spend over 12 hours out of the house doing stuff at school so we dont have to be around them. dont just dump a bucket of white paint over us.

normal school is really difficult but like...from what ive learned the sooner u stop hating people, people stop hating u. like dont be emo and say u hate ppl ur age and u hate kids younger than u?? im sure u would hate someone that hates u too....

how do you do public examinations if you're home schooled? do you go and sit them in the nearest school or something

 

[Stevey Queen]

How do you meet people when your home schooled? Literally, everyone I meet is from school or work.

With one exception from someone I met at church

i mean like national standardised tests. like the ones colleges/universities will look at to decide whether they'll let you in. in the uk it's GCSEs and A levels but i don't know what your equivalent is. like surely you can't do them at home

im not sure because i just started highschool so. i probably will go to the school near me to do it

Well considering the stereotypes people have about homeschooling, yes, your apps might not be all too good.

They're asking a reasonable question. Considering how it's much easier to meet people in public school than I can imagine it would be in homeschooling, I see no issue with their question.

also you should really stop being so angry and defensive you're not giving a good impression of homeschooled people tbh

She's right you know.

Americans have ACTs and SATs. Also AP exams if you take those classes, and there are other tests for high school depending on the state.

online friends don't count as real friends like...ok..lemme see u pull ur friend out of the computer and get coffee together..

But...you don't have classes...you're home schooled.

And yeah, you're acting like a brat. Why don't you answer some of these questions seriously instead of giving small sassy answers that are flooded with unnecessary punctuation?

People who are homeschooled are not always antisocial. People who are homeschooled are not always weird.

My best friend has to be homeschooled because her mother works a full time job and she has to stay home and babysit new borns as well as kids who set fires in the courtyards of apartment complexes.

She has to keep her single mom safe from being evicted from the cheapest apartment they can find because of the kids. She has no other choice.

see that's a valid reason. Not just 'omg lol school is a prison and it's too hot and i hate people telling me what to do!!11!!'

Closing this temporarily.

I'm home schooled and I like it, even though sometimes I do kind of miss how public school forced me to live on a schedule and interact with humans.

Edit~ I was in public school up until my senior year of high school. So I already had friends and for the most part I kept all of them after leaving. I left because the school system was terrible and had treated my brother and his medical problems terribly and my mom didn't want us to be in it anymore so she pulled us out.

I find it genuinely interesting how people can complain about schools in a first world country over very minor things, when we have kids in this world literally dying to have even one fraction of the education we get here. As if air conditioning is the biggest problem in the world, can't imagine how you would have lived when they didn't exist!
There's a saying that goes, you can study under a tree but education and knowledge is invaluable and it doesn't matter where you learn.

don't take advice from people who live in a bubble, friends.

Okay this is completely irrelevant, please take this out of here, the thread is about homeschooling, not your crap.
