Question: Why ya homeschooled?

 

[Chibiusa]

I see homeschooling has done well for you with your spelling.

Jokes aside, who teaches you?

 

[Brackets]

People who are homeschooled ... WHY. Just.... Why?!

I've heard that homeschool makes people very antisocial

I've heard that homeschool makes people very antisocial

There was a homeschooled girl in my university halls last year and she quit after less than a WEEK because she couldn't cope with being away from home

Holy crap...that's crazy

That's not always true.
I'm homeschooled and even though I do spend a lot of time at home, I'm not antisocial. On the contrary, I have plenty of friends and I get to see them several times a week.
Half of my friends are homeschooled just like me, and they're even more outgoing than I am. They are seriously the most social people I have ever met. x'D

i'm homeschooled bc i hate people my age which probably makes me sound really entitled and cocky but.
i've not always been homeschooled though. i was the second half of fifth grade and did a proper video learning homeschool, but they i did feel a bit down and antisocial and lonely, so i went back.
second half of ninth grade though, i turned to homeschooling again, and by then i'd learned of an online public school, which is what i attend. it's lead me to graduating a year early, and i like it a lot, tbh.

I love how people are so quick to ask why people get homeschooled like they're some freak. They're not you, maybe you wouldn't like it but you aren't the same people. So, what's it to you?

To everyone talking about homeschooling negatively, it's like you're forgetting that there are positives to it too. There's two sides to it, and it comes down to personal preference at the end of the day. For example, you don't have people around you to distract you from your work therefore maybe you can achieve better grades than you would at a school with lots of other students constantly messing around and causing the lesson to stop.
You have more freedom from peer pressure or fitting in with the crowd, and more time for your hobbies/activities too.

Homeschoolers becoming antisocial isn't necessarily true. Heck, it doesn't mean you sit at home alone with books/computers/a tutor all day without going outside to see other people ever. School isn't the only way to make friends either.

I had three friends (siblings) who moved to Czechoslovakia and were homeschooled. They visit once every couple of years and they're perfectly confident/sociably able.

Dude, calm down. I only asked why OP was homeschooled. It's an innocent question.

I've been homeschooled for two years now and I'll be going back to my high school for senior year next year. I'm homeschooled through a online school in my state. It has it's perks as in you can work at any pace (you can finish a course in like two to three months honestly) and the content and assignments are always available even if teachers are off from holidays or vacation. I'm not as social as I was, however, I'm not one to have a big group of friends. The only reason I'm scared to go back to my high school is that I will not really have had that "4 year bound" all the kids had, as I would have only attended freshman and senior year. The only downside of being homeschooled in my opinion is that getting work done is up to you. One week I can be so productive, the next I sit in bed and binge watch shows all day.

 

[Sanaki]

Guess I misunderstood your tone then?? So I'm sorry

I don't understand why people are so negative to others who choose to be homeschooled.

I know this is a thread for homeschoolers only, but I do have to say I really am impressed about people who are able to work at their own pace and often times teach themselves if their teacher isn't available. I often wish I took the opportunity to be homeschooled, but I'm almost done with highschool, so I really don't need too anymore.

I dunno...I think that having unblocked internet access, games consoles, TV etc. around me is a lot more of a distraction than a few idiots that get sent out of the class.

Maybe, but my point really was that you can actually control your environment and what's distracting you at home more. At school, you're not in control of the class idiots who stop the teacher every 2 minutes so that the lesson never finishes.

Self control is a good life skill. Hey look, another positive point on home schooling... It could be a great way to gain some self control.

I personally prefer going to an actual school, but I can see plenty of good reasons why someone might prefer learning from home.
