I don't think that I would like going to public school. I might, one of my friends said I would like it, but I wouldn't fit in. All schools are different, I would think. And I wouldn't be going to her school. I've been homeschooled all my life, and I do not know what school is like. And I am shy. Not on here, but outside of the computer, in a croud of people I don't know, I am shy.
I've changed so much since I started homeschool/unschool. I fit in perfectly when I was in public, but now, if I went back, I would definitely not fit. And you know, frankly, I like myself a HECK of a lot better now than when I think back on my personality.
I wasn't unique. I followed the trends. I didn't do stuff for me, I did stuff to make other people like me. I'd say stupid things to get people to feel sorry for me, or to impress them.
No, I haven't changed completely, but I'm getting better each day. I still make mistakes, big ones... but I love myself the way I am!!!!
Oh, and reading!! Reading is one of my TOP things, but when I was in public school, I never had time to enjoy reading, and I was TERRIBLE at it. It would take me months to finish one little chapter book!! Now I read constantly, and I go FAST. Plus, I learn SO much from what I read. For instance, I've never been good at spelling, but since reading, and then coming on here, I've improved so much.
Ok, I'm starting to get a little boasty here... I think I'd better get out of this thread.....
I'm homeschooled! Yippeeeee! I only remember 1 year in kindergarten when they won't let me drink anything at all until I finished eating! So I started homeschooling late after that skipped 2 grades and am now 11 and in 8th grade but 9th grade level.

@ Dawnpaw: Well, no you don't. Some homeschoolers wake up early, but I don't. I'm not a morning person. We do have to wake up early if we're going on a field trip thing though.

Exactly the same with me. Yet my friend, who is homeschooled, gets up at 7 every morning. I only get up if i have early morning practice, or a regatta.

Well.... We start every morning at seven thirty, and our first year - this is our fourth - we started a little before six thirty. So some of us do have to get up early....

I don't wake up at a cirtain time. I usually wake up at five through nine. sometimes I have to wake up when it's to early, to go to a field trip or appointment. or maybe to help my mom vend(she makes and sells jewelry).
I'm Homeschooled! i have been all my life. Like R~D~ i don't think i'd fit in with public school. I enjoy homeschooling alot, and have made so many good friends through it.

I am! But more unschooled than homeschooled. Not really any schedule, my mom just tells me to do a cirtain thing and I do it. She wants me to do atleast two pages of math per day, but these past couple days I haven't been doing them. Friends were here. I'll do six pages of math today. Or maybe eight tomorrow... Or as much as I want, more than six or eight! I'm doing decimals right now. Math-U-See is the only cericulum that I use. I'm in different grade levels in the subjects that I study. Some books say they are for people in fourth grade, others for eighth.

Me! :) I'm not unschooled. I never thought about doing that cause you probably can't get into college....

What do you mean by "unschooled"?
(October 19, 2009 - 11:42 am)
YOu get to pick what you want to learn about and when you do it. Don't really have a schedule...
