My cousins were home schooled up until high school, because their district wasn't that good. I went to a public school and I *think* I turned out ok. I am pretty good with grammar, spelling and all of that. I still have trouble with math, though.... I can do it, just I'm sort of intimidated and not very interested so I psych myself out. But I don't have to take any more math classes for the rest of my life anyways! YAYYYY!

Here's a sample school timetable:
7:00: Wake up 7:15: Stagger out of bed 8:50: Set off on the 1+ mile walk through the cold and wet 8:20: Arrive at school. --morning = lessons with a tiny break inbetween-- 12:00-12:30: Detention for not doing homework. --afternon = lessons with a tiny break inbetween-- 5:00: Get home after colder and wetter walk, have to think about homework straight away. |

you think you got it rough?!?
well i had to wake up at 4:00am and feed the chickens, milk the cow, and send the little 'n off to school with good home cookin in their bellies... and then trek 15 miles to school in the snow uphill both ways!
just kiddin... actually i did have to get up at 6:30 to be at school by 7:30. from 6th to 11th grade i had to follow that pattern. i lived 15 minutes or so from the school, except when we were in high school we had to face more rush hour traffic... so it was more like 20 or so.. the bus left at 7 from our bus stop... and school ended at 2:30.... then i got a car in senior year and i drove myself and my friend to school every day... the hardest thing about that was parking and getting out of the parking lot at the end of the day.. but it was better than the bus... now i don't have class/work till 10 o'clock on most days and soemtimes not till 12:30!!! i can't believe i used to get up soooo early just to go to school..... ~sigh~

Hehehe, I suppose that wasn't a "typical" day I described, it was a bad day. It could get even worse though, the detention could be after-school... I live in the UK, which is so archaic that school uniform is still in existence!
My main object with posting that timetable was to shut all these home-schooled people up who are moaning about having to think about school when they wake up! Mind you, I'm off ill with a nasty cold today. Perfect opportunity to up my post count at Entmoot and the JC. Last edited by Darkside Spirit : 11-09-2001 at 06:18 AM. |

School uniforms.....the public schools here in Louisville require school uniforms as do the Catholic and private schools. So UK is not too arcaic, however, no one wears little crests on their breasts or anything.

I get up at five. *looks around at all the folkies giving her strange looks* What? I do it so I can go on Entmoot!
You know, one of these days I've gotta find that poem from whatever book it was in . . . there's a poem in a poetry book of mine. It's about a spellchecker, on somebody's computer, and they're convinced that it is all spelled correctly, but the whole thin gis done in words that aren't what they were supposed to be. They are all real words, but not the right real words. It's hilarious.

Hey, I'm in martial arts (or karate, blah) and I love it! I used to do gymnastics, but there are no good schools around here.
yeah, I get up at five to go to school somtimes, for jazz choir. Tomorrow is a complete choir day. I get to school ant 6:45, practice Jazz choir until 7:55, school from 8:10 to 3:15, then I run for an hour or two, then I have to wait until 7 for FOFA practice (a fundraiser for the art programs at my school). BAH, BAH, I say!

School Daze.....
Be glad you aren't enrolled in a govt. indoctrination center (aka: Public School) I was in Alaska for 8,9 &10th grades in a school system that did not receive govt. funds or the forced lowest common denominator curriculum that comes with the funds. I was in AP classes and needed a full class load to graduate there. Unfotunately we moved to Okinawa and the DoD School there had no AP classes or a real curriculum getting right down to it. In my final two years of HS I only needed four electives and three full credits to pass muster under govt. auspices. By the end of my last year I had yet to cover what I had already learned in the first semester of my freshman year in a real school system.
How I wish home schooling had been an option! Your Mom cares for you and your future. Tell her you Love her and give her a big thank you hug. She deserves it. |

I agree, I wish I was homeschooled or partly homeschooled. I could work at my own pace, and into the summer (I'm not a fan of year round school, but if I wasn't getting, say, geometry, I could work slower on it and into the summer). I don't really need to know the last time Sally and John (not real names ) 'got some'. ARGH....

I would not have liked to be homeschooled. I think as some people have mentioned here, the relationship with the parents could get very strained. Just like my mom is a teacher and I am glad I never had to go to her school. For people who want to work through the summer, there's always summer school.
