edit// i just noticed the part where you said you were homeschooled. You're so lucky you can set your own sleep and wake up times. Although i won't be able to handle it since i really can't keep to a schedule by myself.. i need a powerful force to drive me out of bed every morning. wink.gif"
ya, homeschoolign is pretty cool in that way..but it's really boring, I woudlnt' suggest it to most ppl, only the ppl that don't fit in at schools liek my brother malcolm or such.
some tihngs ppl have totally WRONG about hoemschooling:
it's way less work
it's so great, you cna play or wacth tv all day
you can visit your freinds whenever you want
real facts about homeschooling:
okay, I'm not saying it's MORE work than school, in the long run , ya,it probably is less, but you still do all four courses, ie. socials, english, science, math..and if you want courses on the side such as, woodwokring, french, arts and stuff, sewing, musical instruments/band/youth symphony
you most deffinitly can NOT play all day...at least the way my mom does it...I do work form when I wake up to 2:30...or later, depending on WHEN I wake up.
you cannot visit your friends all day..reaons being #1 you have to do your work #2 in hoemschoolign you don't have very many freinds #3 the freinds I do have go to school, ie. I can't visit them during school time anwyays so ti's jsut like I Was goign to school...only on wekkends...
so ya, ofr me, hoemschooling doens't cut the cake, I desp[retly wanted to go to school this year but mom woudlnt' let me, she said we'd let jeremy be the guiny pig so he went to shcool instead...he LOVES it...so if you're tihnking when you grow up you want to hoemschool yer kids, I'm nto saying it's a bad idea, most elementary kdis love it, I did, but if I were you I'd put em in highschool in grade 8 and make sure they are prepared for it, ie. do distance education courses at home...and make sure your kids have experience with other kdis theri age, for example, putting them in like choirs, sports, or other after school courses ....
...good thigns aobut hoemschooling are that you arn't exposed to bad influences, it's a lot less stressful invironmetn, you learn at oyur own pace, and it's often actually more educational than goign to school...you have time to read more differen't books aobut histroy and such and wacht educational shows..tha'ts how I learned alot of what I know....
...I am so goign to school next year..it'll be a nice change..but meanwhile, I'm stuck here at boring old home, day after day....tring to get my work done...nto succeeding very well...*siigh* fascinating life eh?
..I write WAY too much...I shoudol write a whoel book on homeschooling
