Hahaha! Yeah, I do that! My mama doesn't know though!

I hope I won't have the urge too...LOL...Yeah right!

What online school is it you do?

 

[Sparx]

Do what you want, but I don't have a good opinion on homeschooling, based on past experiences with it.

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

Hahaha! Yeah, I do that! My mama doesn't know though!

Oh, Britt's mom!!!!

 

[TinkerTracy]

That sounds great! I am glad you can do the trip as well. Just a small question, how are you already accepted into Berkley? Are you a senior then? Sorry if this sounds stupid, I just got a little confused!

 

[Tinkerbell424]

I gotta do some more researching.

Do you mind me asking your thoughts and opinions on homeschooling? I've practically heard all the negative comments about it. But please, if you don't mind, I'd like to hear your thoughts and opinions.

 

[Captain Brain]

I want to be homeschooled.......

 

[Ampris]

Well, if it's what's best for you, congratulations! Personally, after sixteen years of homeschooling I'm not at all happy with it anymore, but that's just my experience. Be very sure to find a good homeschool group.

Glad that you'll still have time for socializing, though. ^^

 

[BabyPiglet]

Early accepted into Berkely, because as Britt said, I'm smartical!

Okay so the program I am in is...James Madison High School Online. I have 16 classes to complete, the first set of classes are on there way. They'll be here in 7-10 days I can work at my own pace, which is fast, and get things done. I will most likely have everything done by next year at this time.

Yes Shelby, could you please explain your negative views on homeschooling?

 

[PrincessKally]

That sounds like fun Jenny!
So I believe someone else already mentionedthis but how exactly are you already accepted to Berkely, because I'm nto posiitive, but I beleive your only about 15.
I have never been homeschooled, but if I was I would never get anything done. It would be nice though!

I am 16. And I was early accepted. Long story Lauren LOL...

In 7-10 days the stuff will come, my mom has already paid for it. Tomorrow is my last day at Chaffin (my school) and I am gonna dance in the halls...But my mom gave me some rules...

I have to start working at 8:30
Lunch 11:45-12:30
Done working at 3:15

The TV is not to be turned on
The computer is only to be turned on if needed
And I must do 3o minutes of Excercise in the gym everyday. Plus every other Saturday I will go to the Library and get two books to read.
Plus is she sees me slacking off a lot she will send me back to Public School

And the best part is 2 days a week I am required by her to go volunteer at her office. Which I absolutely love, I want to work there when I get older.

 

[CrazyChik]

AWESOME!!!!
i'd love to be home-schooled.
my parents are bright enough and they wouldnt trust me to do the interenet ones.
it would be safer and i'd probably learn more thn at my school though

i wanna be home-schooled

 

[meeshheartsdisney217]

i love my school. it's challenging, and there are cool people there. i mean, yeah some people piss me off. but i think that you have to learn how to deal with people at a young age, so then you won't become like a loner when your older.

and i agree with jam, i think i'd drive myself crazy wanting to talk to myself all the time.

that sounds fair! i start when i feel like it........between 9 and 11:30. i eat when i wanna, take breaks when i wanna. but my mom trusts me to get my school done and i can get 5 lessons done in about an hour and a half so yeah. but congrats jenny! hope you like it!

 

[BabyPiglet]

Okay so here's the update. It is 11:39 and I am no longer enrolled at Chaffin Junior High! My mom finished the paperwork and got it approved faster than I thought possible. So at lunch she came and picked me up. I danced in the parking lot She says I can have a "vacation" until my books get in! I can't freakin believe everything happened sooo fast! I never would have guessed LOL...I am ridiculously happy.

And also I just wanted to make sure you all knew that the immature people aren't the big reason I am being homeschooled. I can get a riciculous amount of stuff done, we estimate I will probably get my High School Diploma by this time next year. That way I can start college prep classes at the local University. And I can get a job. Nothing can hold me back now! So this is the real reason I left public school.

And don't worry, I am FAR from being a loner. I've ALWAYS been more comfortable around adults and this way I also will get more used to my mom's office and will be ready to work there when I get outta Berkely.

I'm so excited I couldn't wait to get home and tell you guys about it!

Lets whip out the ol' banana

When I was in Kindergarten, I didn't talk. I don't know why, but I just didn't. I was incredibly shy.
When I was in 1st grade, I was still introverted.
In 2nd grade, I made up for all the lost time. I nearly failed. I left second grade not being able to add 10+10 or read out loud.

Mom homeschooled me.

I caught up, and then some. I could do sixth grade level math, I read shakespeare.

But I spent a year alone. Just me and my mom. All day. I lost the ability to learn to deal with people in my age group. I could communicate with adults, not children, even though I was still just a child. It made making friends very very hard.

I'm okay with it now, but I still associate better with adults than people my own age.

I know that I was young when this happened, and Jenny isn't the same age, but I'm soured on homeschooling from my experience.

Oh, ok. And I respect that. To tell you all the truth, I am terrified meeting new people. Especially kids! I feel more open to adults. I dont know why. I just find them easier to talk to. Sorry you had a bad experience Shelby.

Oh, its fine. but I would never recommend homeschooling to a young child.
