school

[mr. guitar]

Homeschooled? I'd also hate that because I'd be at home more than I'd want to be. haha. One of my friends used to be homeschooled and he hated it because he was never out of his house. He was then at our high school for 9th grade, now he moved to Kenya for a year.

I've seen at least 4,000 kids that love homeschooling.
Google HSLDA.

By the way, I don't stay inside a lot. Homeschooling gives us the freedom to be out more.

 

[clown boy]

As for people out in the real world, I work at a technology company, and I am very familiar with the corporate world. I wouldn't have a job at my age if I wasn't homeschooled. Just because I am homeschooled does not mean that I am not out often. Besides, have you noticed how often I post?

What is a foreign language? :notsure:

Just kidding. I'm not old enough yet, but the neat thing about being homeschooled is that you get to choose from this list:
* Arabic
* Chinese (Mandarin)
* Danish
* Dutch
* English (UK)
* English (US)
* Farsi (Persian)
* French
* German
* Greek
* Hebrew
* Hindi
* Indonesian
* Italian
* Japanese
* Korean
* Latin
* Pashto
* Polish
* Portuguese (BR)
* Russian
* Spanish (Latin America)
* Spanish (Spain)
* Swahili
* Swedish
* Tagalog
* Thai
* Turkish
* Vietnamese
* Welsh
Whew! I certainly don't intend to learn all of them!

Just ask if you have anymore questions!

 

[mr. guitar]

hahahaha. Dang that's a huge list!!!! We only get to choose from 3 at school. French, Spanish, and German. I say go with French. It's really easy and it's awesome!

 

[clown boy]

Well, I live in the San Antonio were about 30% of the people speak Spanish. Plus, I have a lot of relatives that only speak Spanish (I'm Guatamalan). :thinking:

 

[mr. guitar]

Well that makes everything easier for you. hahaha. Random info...our school is plannnin' a trip to South America for summer. Mainly all the Spanish classes but anyone can go. I'm tryin' to get my French teacher to plan a trip to France but I don't think that's gonna happen this year.

Hey,
Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you, i was at my dads house for the rest of summer while he was on vacation and he doesnt have internet.
But anyways,
I dont think that i could ever be home schooled because i love being around so many people all day and everything. Like, today was my first day at school and i met a TON of new people, and even the people that i didnt talk to i still enjoyed being around simply because its so different and not monotonous everyday. Plus i got to catch up with all my old friends. I just love going to pulic school because it is exciting. But thats just me

 

[clown boy]

Homeschooling is not monotonous, trust me!
We are always meeting new people.
A few more things:
1. Public schoolers always like to hang out with people their own age because that's all they've grown up with. Homeschoolers grow up with their families; the result is that they are usually more friendly towards kids younger than themselves than public schoolers are. At least 60% of my friends are 8 and younger. First reading this, you may think that it is a bad thing, but really, they are fun! And that's that I'm a boy! I still have at least 50 older friends.
2. Public schoolers have been known to be far more likely to rebel against authority (Police, Parents) than homeschoolers because public schoolers always are getting advice from their peers instead of their parents.
3. Statistics show that homeschoolers pass the SAT's 3 times better then public schoolers.
Keep in mind that this does not always apply to all students and that I mean no offense.
