Sometimes I wish I had been homeschooled, I was unlucky because the way I learn was completely different to how the British schooling system wanted me to learn so my desire and willingness to learn was crushed out of me at a young age, it also meant that by the standards set by schools I was 'thick'... I was lucky with English that I could read the set books and teach myself so I did well in English and Media (I was put in the 'second highest set' for English, not that that really counts for much because everybody still seemed like idiots) but in Maths I just couldn't grasp anything other than the basics and my teachers wouldn't even acknowledge my existence, so I was chucked in the 'lowest set' where I was expected to not even leave school with a passing grade. My parents didn't like that so they made me see a tutor every Saturday , so I guess I was technically homeschooled for maths. That tutor was amazing, with her help I got moved from the 'lowest set' to the 'second highest set' in a few months, and jumped from a predicted F grade to an achieved B grade. I was so lucky because my tutor recognised that I learned differently and adapted to that instead of pushing me through something that my brain couldn't grasp, I wish that I just could have been taught by her fully, she was qualified to teach all the core subjects at GCSE level. But yeah, I really wish I had been homeschooled :/
someone in irc a while ago did an online uni course and kept asking people for the answers to her online test on there but now they are gone forever rip
cheaters never prosper.

Please use your brain for at least half a second. There is a huge difference between home-schooled and completely sheltered and people have different personalities anyway. You sound like one of the scientists that saw a correlation between vaccinations and autism in separate stats and said that vaccinations were a causation for autism. Learn the difference between correlation and causation, please.
lol they didn't even make a generalisation?? They just contributed their life experience to the topic regarding the post they quoted. chill ur hedgehogs
Woah ho ho, I wasn't even saying that all home schooled people are like that. Why so quick to get offended? Me saying an anecdote about someone I know does not mean I'm dumb. Jesus Christ.

The secret is not doing anything~
I usually just make it look like I'm working, but I'm really talking to my friends the whole time. Or I ask to use the restroom and then just wander the halls or hang out at another class with a teacher I really like. I usually keep food in my locker and eat it whenever, so the lack of food isn't a bad problem.
tbh I wouldn't be able to survive if I actually tried to follow any rules. That's what scares me about the thought of being homeschooled, it doesn't seem like you can get away with very much?
That completely depends on your parents, tbh.
Mine were always really lax about everything -- throughout my entire childhood, I was never "grounded" -- so when it came to my school work, it was much the same.
I actually got in trouble in public school more because even in the "advanced" classes I was bored. Drawing was frowned upon by my math teacher. :v
lol nice strawman argument, moron

Tell me about it.
As much as I hate going to school, at least I get to just go out and refresh myself. Homeschooling just sounds crazy to me. 
I'd probably never have any friends ever if I was homeschooled, and I'd probably go insane from staying indoors all the time. Besides, that way I appreciate the time I am home a lot more, because it's like my relaxing time.Tell me about it.
yeah. you make homeschoolers sound like we never go out. what the ****/????/
actually. my mom takes us to so many places during the week. we socialize. we just do it in a way that doesnt involve me screaming at my teacher.
REALLY/???? how do you think we have no friwends??
we stay at home to do do school. how does that mean we cant get friends???????????? seriously??????????? i would go insane if i ever had to step in a school AGAIN.
why are you so mad about it? they were just saying that THEY probably would have no friends, and that's understandable - most kids/teens DO make most of their friends at school, so it's easy to see how it would be harder to make friends being home-schooled. I know for a fact i would hardly have friends if i'd been homeschooled, because i'm the sort of introverted person who only makes friends when they're forced to be with people every day, i.e. at school. Home-schooling definitely isn't for everyone.
I think they were more upset with the fact that it's become a really nasty, prevalent stereotype? I dunno.
But of course most kids/teens make their friends at school -- most kids/teens GO to a public school, lol.
Most communities actually have a thing for home-schoolers to get together, if that's your thing. Home-schooled or not, you can still go to prom! Introverted or not, you can still meet kids your age and do group projects and all those other things you're used to. It wouldn't likely be a daily thing like public school is, but you can still make friends without the weird pressures and concerns of "omg where could I actually meet other teens?"
Being home-schooled =/= living in a bubble inside your bedroom.
We just got shorter school days, more time to sleep in, and more field trips sans the stinky bus. :v
I just don't get where all these stereotypes come from. I'm not socially inept nor lacking in friends just because I spent my middle and high school years learning at my pace in the comfort of my home. Was 700 miles away from my hometown, so it's not like I had my friends from elementary around. And I am introverted irl, and it was an initial concern for my parents, so I understand where you're coming from.
But I do agree, it's not for everyone.
The kid(s) and the parent(s) have to be 100% dedicated to their education. If a kid isn't willing to learn, imo they're better off going to a public school where they can easily ignore class. While one-on-one teaching does mean you can work around your own schedule, it doesn't mean you can just get up and walk out of the class whenever you're bored with math. It's gotta get done.

Lol I wasn't talking about YOU or any homeschooler in general jesus christ.
I was just saying it wouldn't suit ME personally, I don't think it really is an ideal choice of education for many people at all, but if it works for some, hey, I won't judge!How is socialising... Screaming at your teacher? .. Okay never mind you lost me there :x
Most people meet their friends at school and through school, once again you have twisted my words implying I was saying "HOMESCHOOLERS DON'T HAVE FRIENDS", I was saying I'd have a hard time finding any friends if I didn't go to school. But you know, considering most people make friends with people at school, some people just may be quick to assume that homeschoolers don't have friends: I wouldn't be offended by it because if you do have friends then... ?

Meh
I'm curious. How much does homeschooling cost for those who choose to be home schooled?

it just brings me back to my point that, if you're healthy and able to participate in things and want to be homeschooled, you seriously should join any kind of activity like idk music, sports, even getting a job so you can have people to talk to. Some people even start getting homeschooled cause they have to help their family with working so it makes sense, it's just all depending on your situation. It's up to you if you want to be sheltered, but if someone were to say they just want to leave school because they hate everyone and hate waking up early, it really won't help at all. It's not like you have to make friends only at school though, some people find it harder to befriend people in that environment because they'd just rather focus on the education. And yet they'd probably have friends everywhere else except school, like work or neighborhood.
One of my high schools was kind of a joke, too many activities and time to socialize but I didn't really care for that, I just wanted to get the hell out. I didn't give a crap about their sports or homecoming games, or spirit weeks and assemblies really. But that's just me. I'd rather have like 5 hours of extensive work and get out by 12pm so I can get the rest of the day free, not waste another 4 hours because of that crap that I don't care about. It was so constant too.
I'd also suggest maybe an alternative schooling program, I know there's some here where if you're over 16 and have a valid reason then you can transfer to this smaller school and finish with a HS diploma. Classes are smaller and you can take way more credits and graduate like a year earlier than regular school kids, this case would be good if you have to work or do something else. From what I hear there wasn't any bullying or any of that crap cause the teachers watch and communicate with everyone, and classes are smaller so it's more personalized. Could be something to look into if one of your main problems is bullying.

Doesn't have to cost anything.
There are plenty of free resources (libraries and, ofc, the internet have viable information available) and plenty of ways to acquire free/cheap hand-me-down textbooks (even in college, I buy my books used online or scrounge craigslist and yard sales, lol).
Of course there are complete boxed sets and whatnot available to buy, as well as "independent study" courses online (ya know, K12, Keystone, and the like.)
Really, it only costs as much as you're willing to spend.
