[quote="Opposing Eyes"]My family is way too busy to be in public school, so homeschooling works for us. quote] So your mother has time to sit down and teach you all day, but she doesn't have time to drop you off at school? I don't think I understand that. It seems like it would be MORE work to do homeschooling than anything. |

I've been in public school my whole life, and I can't say it's been amazing, although I can't say it's been terrible... It's had it's ups and it's downs, more downs than ups. But it has taught me how to perservre. I have quite a few friends that are homeschooled. And none of them are social retards or whatever. Yeah, they're kind of 'out there' but they're pretty far from the steryotype of homedschooled kids. They're also some of the most genuine people I have ever met. I feel that for most of my life no one has truly liked me or understood me, especially not most of the kids I go to school with. I've had lots of friends who, after awhile think they're too cool to hang out with me and flake out on me. But my homeschooled friends actually care about me and what I have to say. They actually think I'm cool and don't care that I can sometimes be pretty intense/strange. (Not to say that I don't have a few great public school friends.) For the most part, the homeschooled people I know basically teach themselves. They participate in a music/drama program and have prom and graduation. Lots of them are in bands or play instruments. As for me, I kind of wish I was homeschooled. I'm a really hardworking straight A student and I feel kind of held back by public school. Also, I'm pretty sure I have some form of social anxiety, which I'm pretty sure has come from years of getting picked on in school. I wish I could be more dedicated to my music and not constantly have to worry about my peers or some stupid test. Unluckily for me, my parents despise the concept of home schooling. They don't understand it at all. They think ALL of the homeschoolers parents are religious zealots. Luckily for me, I only have 2 years of high school left. |

I said my mom used to teach us when I was younger, she had more time then, my dad was just a pastor and my mom didn't have a job. My mom doesn't teach us anymore, she doesn't care to give us a ton of work, she doesn't like "strict" homeschooling. _________________ myspace.xanga.deviantart.photography myspace. |

from my experience i've seen that most people who've been homeschooled are either close minded, or overly sensitive towards life and the things that come with it. not all homeschooled people i've met, but most. it's probably hard to see this from the perspective OF a homeschooled person. |

But if you say "all homeschoolers I've met are ____" are you not watching for something "out there" about them just because you want to prove something? Or do you really see some nerd off in the corner and say "oh he must be homeschooled." _________________ Delmar O'Donnell: Oh, George... not the livestock. |

Teasing isn't only taught in public schools, unfortunately. heh. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

I'm also just as socially uncomfortable if not moreso than a homeschooled person. _________________ Scriptozoology, a screenwriting blog .. Facebook |
