School Situation
I've noticed that many people are reponding with similar questions to the Thread about school and homeschooling, so I will answer questions and try to explain here:
1) I cannot homeschool. Even though I desperately want to, there are about three main reasons why I cannot.
1a. I cannot be home all day. I would drive my Mum crazy.
1b. My parents are worried about social interactions. Hah
1c. I just can't.
I understand why, so I'm sort of done with it.
2) School s terrible because I am gifted.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
Thank you all for showing me so much support!

Oh, if any of you are wondering I am in sixth grade.

So am I! I'm not gifted though... Unless you count gifted as being able to tell WHENEVER a note is slightly sharp or flat.........
(November 14, 2014 - 4:15 pm)
That could be a sign, but maybe not.

Lucky. I wouldn't know a flat note if it bit me like Snuggles bites Squeak.

Has anyone seen Gollum recently? I've been mising her.

All school is is sitting in a stuffy room listening to them tell you things that you've known for 5 years. Well to me.

No comment as of the fact I do not want a fight.

Erp... Well... I have always been a bit gifted. I'm not home schooled, though it sometimes seems like it. I learn everything from my dad, and he gives me mathsheets and other stuff. Really, school is more of a review for me.
Yeah, it's a bit tough when you are gifted. Oh man, now I really feel like a brat. Anyway, I'm in the highest math class, and after school I get college tutorials and stuff. Programming also comes natural to me, as well as fast-reflex games. Geometry dash is a good example, or temple run... So. Yeah.
Gee, sometimes I just want to be average. I already skipped one grade, and my teachers are thinking of making me skip another. I miss my friends, as I don't get to see them in my classes. And if I get even an A in my grade, my parents freak out. Harsh.
Another thing that makes me 'gifted' is that I can tell who someone is by looking at them. It's not like a superpower or anything, it's just that I recognize when someone lies or how a person acts. You know that phrase "Don't juge a book by it's cover"? Well... I do that a lot. And I'm usually right. My memory of stuff is also quite good as well.
...So yeah. Harsh life for the gifted.

URG. I SERIOUSLY sound like a brat.
(November 15, 2014 - 10:18 am)
Yah. Definiitely. I have a really high IQ. Not like a really smart type, but pretty uncommon.
@Indigo:
What do you mean by you don't want to start a fight?
(November 15, 2014 - 4:26 pm)
Indigo is VERY against homeschooling. In the debate club, he was on the public school side.
(November 17, 2014 - 6:23 pm)
The debate! I forgot I had gone on it. Oops. Nano!!!
