I am homeschooled. My mom orders the curriculum from a private school(Christian Liberty Academy, to be exact. Sometimes A Beka College.) and gets a book that is full of sheets for her to fill out as a weekly lesson plan. Then I do the work that she has assigned for me. My favorite part about being homeschooled is the fact that it's so flexible. Especially since I intern at church 3 days out of the week. But I've been able to basically stay on track while only doing schoolwork 4 days out of the week. And no, I don't dress like a pilgrim and I am not socially challenged. I am also hoping to be able to finish before the year 2006 ends. That way I can concentrate on getting my ministry credentials(which I'm already working on thanks to my internship). _________________ Thistledown |

so what do the parents teach their kids at homeschool? or do the parents call some private teachers???if it's really good, i might want my kids to be homeschooled too later on...i wonder what will happen if every parent wants to homeschool their kids...hahahhhaa...that's hard to imagine...

i was kind of wondering this too. because i'm homeschooled, but i'm a senior, although, technically, i shouldn't be. =P so if i can do that, i'm sure stacy can be graduated at 16. _________________ Saellys wrote: Thank God for Arielle all your kind, they're coming clean they shut their eyes their mess, their scene |

 Warning, long post ahead. Feel free to skip this if you don't care about long-winded speculation on the topic of regular school vs. home school
You know, I have been public-schooled my whole life and I am still pretty shy and introverted. I despise telephones, and have been known to be very awkward when trying to maintain a conversation with people I hardly know. But these aren't necessarily "problems" that come up because of the way someone is schooled. They are more of a character trait. I think if people are naturally introverted this will come out no matter what kind of schooling they have had. Example: I do know a girl who is home-schooled and is somewhat of a turtle. Meaning she is constantly in her own little safe shell-house. She has hardly any friends and never really goes anywhere or does anything. This might be partially due to home schooling but it is also just in her personality..because... I know another girl who is home schooled but has the most active social life I have EVER seen. She constantly seeks out and craves social interaction. So yeahh... Granted going to a school does give you a lot of experience working with all kinds of different people and peers. You learn to deal with teachers you don't like, and learn to work with a group and solve problems. I think that these are very valuable lessons for real life. School can be a place where you gain the maturity to work with people who think differently from you. And there are always neat opportunities like working on a school newspaper or on a play production, etc. But as far as the actual learning process goes, I think home school is probably the most effective way to learn. It is soooo geared to the individual and there is no "failing". To me the concept of failing in a subject is quite frustrating because ideally you should just be able to learn. It wouldn't be like: "Oh you didn't understand Stoichiometry by this date? Oh well, you fail, lets move on" You could just learn something for the purpose of learning it. Also home schooling allows you to really focus on what you enjoy doing. You can find something you completely love and excel at, and then just go for it. With the organization and time constraints of formal schooling it is hard to do that. So...for me it is easy to feel trapped in school. Because I feel like I have to do certain things because they are required of me, when I would rather be doing something else just (if not more) useful because I want to do them. The motivation can become ALL grades and no learning. Which is horrible. I could go on, but this has become long enough. Sorry for the long-winded reply. This was as much for me to get my thoughts about education in order as it was a reply to the topic.  _________________ -Brooke |

Very well thought out post. Yeah, the way a person will act outside of their home and such all depends on their natural personality. When I moved here to Illinois from Arizona, I was actually quite outgoing and I was homeshooled then too. But I noticed slowly as I was in public school for the two and a half years that I was after we moved here, I was becoming more and more introverted. Leading worship for my youth group has really helped me to come out of my shell a bit more since then, especially the whole idea of knowing that these kids hear my voice(which wasn't too good when I started out). It has helped me to become a bit more confident slightly more extraverted around people. And yeah, when you're homeschooled, you do get an education much better geared towards your personal learning needs. _________________ Thistledown |

i went to public school and it was all-boys school...even though i think home school is great, but the experience i've had with all my friends at school won't be as great as if i were homeschooled...so i'm glad that my mom didn't know about this type of school...because i'm sure if she had known about homeschool, she would have put me at home and made me learn like crazy everday...hahahhaa... _________________
