| Im 15 and have been home since i was 12 I love it!!! i went back to reg. school last year and stayed a semester I hated regular school! Im just a homeschool person I guess I do much better work at night so i start school at like 5 and get done at 10 Im ahead of my friends who are in reg school now because i just did so much better at night and learned so much more and ive taken tests and everything and im doing really well. If you're comfortable doing homeschool then great it may take a bit to get use to it. ↑ |

| I'm a homeschooling mom. This is the first year of homeschooling for me and my 11 yr old son. We are both loving it! He wants to be an astronaut, so he's getting to study astronomy all year, instead of just bits and pieces of what he would get in public school. It does take a lot of effort, to get started, but once we got into the swing of things, it's going great! He has no ambition to go back to regular school. He's ahead of his peers, anyway, and he's usually done with his schoolwork by 12 - 1, so has more time to play with his playstation, or watch tv, read, whatever he wants to do, or we have time to go do things together. There are things he's learning, that he's having fun teaching ME about. He only studies for about 4 hrs a day, and does wonderfully! He won't consider going back to public. ↑ |

| absolutely.. you would have more consetrated time, and energy on one topic at a time.. one gentleman i work with has two sons whom are homeschooled, and they are more advanced than their contremporaries...and they only spend about two hours full time on one subject a day... plus music, chess and outdoor activities... plus in london we have a support network for all the people who are in homeschooling to meet once a week for group activities... ROM..SCIENCE CENTRE... CNE... CBC TOURS... ETC... GO FOR IT... you'll be way ahead ... and more readily accepted into college or university... i've asked... University of Western Ontario... theresa ↑ |

| B...are you still in public school...or now, unsocialized....lol sorry all...couldn't help myself...geez... ↑ |
| Name: Tracy | Date: May 5th, 2006 11:55 AM |
| Oh, I get it. People don't communicate with eachother in your home...or maybe they don't do things together...or, I now B, you don't do anything outside of your home with your family...or maybe you are a single person with no friends, so clueless how socialization all works... How is socialization such a hang-up concern associated with homeschooling...as an adult...i don't run around with 30 year olds for 8 hours a day...and, well, I have wonderful people skill...and I do not owe that to what I learned in public schools...I had to unlearn many things to have better socail skill in everyday life...so, please...this whole socialization thing is not a reality...you would have to be a hermit, to raise your child unsocially...i am sure there may be one on occation...but, as a whole, this really is NOT an issue...sigh... ↑ |

| and Alex...you seem to be in the right mind-set...much more can be accomplished in less time. Remember though, you need to work toward goals, and practice self disapline in your schooling. Also, enjoy the luxery of teaching yourself about things that intrigue you...that is how we all really learn! Have fun, do the things you love, and enjoy your family and friends! ↑ |

| Believe me, u ruin your life when u r homeschooled, u lose contact with your friends, u miss out on everything happening in school, and what if u go back, u r not going to know what to expect because u were homeschooled. ever since i was homeschooled, my friends forgot about my birthday, dont put ur self in this situation, if i had a choice, i would be with my friends right now. ↑ |

| Well, what kind of education do your parents have? If they aren't very smart, I would fight to stay in school. I would not let them keep me from getting a good education! ↑ |

| Good for you! What do you want to do in the future? You may want to fill your day with researching that stuff. Or, you could take some courses through distance learningetc. I think its up to you what you need to do. Homeschooling gives more time to languages and music study. And of course there is volenteering. ↑ |

| I think you should try it and if you like it. Stick with it. And if you dont, then you can always go to regular school. Simple! I am making the switch from regular schooling to home schooling, and i will see how i go. And if your not sure, i sugest you do the same. =] ↑ |

| Oh and also to you people who say you loose all your friends coz of home schooling. I bet you didnt even try to keep contact. Texting, msn, myspace and the phone are good ways to keep in contact. You can have friends from everywere if you just keep in contact, Just because your not with them 5 school days a week, doesnt mean they cant be friends. Its just like having friends from other schools. ↑ |

| My cousin has done home schooling her whole life and she said it really helps her. My mom said that she was going to make me be home schooled next year, but i dont want to because i am a very social person. I think that you need to think of the good things and the bad things about homeschooling, and then decide what is good for you. Have fun with that. And by the way, i am also 13, so i know what kind of decision this is for you. ↑ |

| It makes me laugh when people say that homeschooled kids need socialization! Do people really think we never go anywhere? Ha! Homeschooled kids tend to socialize well with adults and children of all ages rather than just kids that are their own age, and just as immature. When we think our kids are missing out on public school socialization, we just push them down and steal their milk money! Most people talk about homeschooled kids lacking socialization, yet have no idea what they're talking about... Just following the crowd, as usual... ↑ |

| homeschooling is the worst form of torture ever! no friends, tons of work, no freedom, being around your mom and siblings 24/7. it goes on and on. i've been homeschooled since birth, and while i concsider myself reasonably socially capible, i know tons of homeschoolers who arn't. BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS if ur parents r cool, and homeschool the right way, being customisable, flexible, and give you some social outlets, it can rock ur face bc you will get work done faster and have more free time. it CAN be awesome. in my case it sucks tho. ↑ |

| Ive been homeschooled for about a year and it sucks I miss all my friends and am behind because FLVS has screwed up my pace. I would give alot to be back with my friends. Parents, if you want your kids to be happy and have friends, DONT HOMECHOOL! ↑ |
