     There's actually a very high percentage of us if you were able to look at, say, a pie chart showing how everyone around here has been schooled. Kind of to be expected though because Home schoolers are much more likely to pick up and read a book than are the public schoolers.

Eh, did some community service, the wreck didn't go on my record. That was months ago, anyways. (I kinda wimped out on the whole 'driving' thing for weeks, but then I lost the job I had that I could walk to, so I needed a way to get places.)

I just ask my dad if he needs help with work. ;D
He's a general contractor, and some of the jobs he gets are pretty gnarly. At leas 12 bucks an hour. Yeah, buddy! ;D

I didn't have to parallel because the dude doing the test couldn't find a suitable case for me to do it, but that helps to balance out the fact that I was driving a 15-passenger van.  :P AKA: Gus AKA: a tank (Griffen's name for our bus).

I am old enough to take the permit test where I live but I haven't yet. I had a bad experience with a go cart when I was 10. Crashed into the wall in the only place that there was only concrete. I was very shaken up and still don't want to get behind a real wheal.  :P not fun...

I've had some interesting experiences.
Nearly drove a dirtbike into a lake.
Drove an ATV into a lake.
Launched off a jump, crushed the ATV and nearly broke both my legs.
Nearly wrecked my cousin's sweet truck when he was trying to teach me how to use the stick shift.
Crashed a riding lawnmower into blackberry bushes. A freaking lawnmower. (is ashamed)

Post by: Rusvul on March 19, 2014, 12:25:54 PM
I'm still several years off being able to drive. The thought of driving terrifies me- I don't think that the danger of roads are appreciated as much as they should be. I mean, yeah, there's loads of safe drivers, but the inherent danger of multi-ton pieces of metal moving at sixty miles an hour... That doesn't really ever go away. No matter what.
I don't think I'll have too much trouble learning to drive, though- My guess is I'll be terrified a lot, but still able to keep some semblance of control of the vehicle. I think some of it I'll really enjoy, and some of it will really scare me.
The hardest part for me, though, will probably be learning how to get places. I have basically no sense of direction, I could navigate you about three places- And only then from one to the other.

It's pretty scary when you first get out on the road, but after a while it gets easier and less horrifying. About the navigation thing, you sound like my sister! The first time we went to visit family in a big town (she was 17, I was 11, and it was just the two of us), my brother had to make her hand the phone to me so that he could direct us, because she thought that when we went across an intersection, we automatically got onto the road indicated by the sign on the light. (As in: We were on Gobbledygook Ave. and there was an intersection with Egghead Drive, she thought we had gotten onto Egghead Drive when we were really still on Gobbledygook Ave.)

So, now that we've pulled this topic completely off the road (punpunpunpunpun), what do all of you want to do with your futures? Homeschooling changes a lot of stuff as far as college and such. It's not as easy to get accepted into colleges, nor is it as easy to be hired by corporate companies.

I would like to go to a trade school and get a two-year degree in cosmetology. After that, I can earn money to put myself through a makeup artistry course.

I want to take some college classes, like chemistry, higher math. . . stuff.
As a job, I'm interested in becoming a welder. I'm good at it and I enjoy it.

So how do you all go anywhere together? I remember from somewhere that you have nine people in your family?
Argh, I mean nine seater. Just got it recently.  :P

Are you some sort of log-book for all the member's personal information? ;)

Fun.
Welding, huh? That's a good trade. In fact, I think having a trade is better than going to college and getting a fancy degree. Too many people do that nowadays, so people with regular trades are valuable.

Post by: The Skarzs on March 25, 2014, 03:50:46 PM
Not only that, there are fewer and fewer people willing and able to do work like welding or carpentry. They're all going into computer stuff, and sciencey jobs.
Title: Re: Homeschoolers, unite!
Post by: BlueRose on March 25, 2014, 04:09:02 PM
Right? That's why trade jobs pay lots. :)

Public schools these days are teaching towards college and fancy learning jobs. There ought to be more emphasis on trades.

Hey, don't diss computer jobs :P Bay Port's kinda funny, they actually have classes that allow you to go into a welding job right out of highschool, it's really popular too. They also have Engineering course (which I've taken).

Wasn't saying computer jobs were bad or not important; indeed, nowadays they have grown in importance. I'm just saying that other jobs that should be important are put aside.
Knowledge is important, no matter what job you take; and I for one don't want to know only welding. That is why I am going to take other classes. And my dad is a 'Jack of all trades', so I learn a lot from him.

Lol, I just have a pretty good memory. I remember lots of info about people on here. It's weird. ::)

Stuff I remember about forum members
Dan has 5 siblings, and he's the oldest - okay, I made a mistake. :P He's the third oldest.
Tam has eight 7 siblings, and he's the third oldest.
Rachel has 5 siblings, and she's the fourth oldest.
Shade has 6 siblings, and he's the second oldest.
Rain has 2 siblings, and she's the youngest.
Leatho has 1 sibling, and he's the youngest.
Cornflower has 5 siblings, and she's the youngest.

Yeah, no dissing. I just wish there were more opportunities for students who want to have a trade instead of pushing them to go learn ergonomics when they'd rather be a carpenter or professional zip-liner (not really a job...)

I would like to have a degree in something computer/smarts based someday, but that comes after makeup artistry.

Yeah, old thread, but I think I misworded something. ::) I said you have 8 siblings. Counting you, that means there's 9 kids in your family. But I checked the topic "How big is your family?" and there's only 8 kids in your family. :P

Oy, relax man. It's as fun as I'll get out, but I don't find it practical. (Or thrifty, to say the least.)
Speaking of firearms, I learned how to take down our .22.

I learned about standard deviation.

Math. When are you ever going to need the stuff? (aside from punishing your future children)
Interesting fact; ACE doesn't actually stand for Accelerated Christian Education, it stands for Agonising Child Execution.
Maths is really fun, when not confined to simple classroom stuff. For example, if you know how to do most of the things, the UKMT maths challenge is great. There are other versions for other countries. Also, the lower level of the second stage is called the kangaroo for a reason I can't remember at this moment in time.

The worst subjects for me are art and PE. Also dance and drama, but I don't have to do those anymore, luckily. Sadly they did a weird thing with my year: instead of having us choose our GCSE subjects in year 8 to start in year 9, they made us choose 'mini options', between tech, music, drama and dance. You put them in order, with one being the one you most wanted to do and four being the one you least wanted to do. I put tech first, then music, then drama, and last (and definitely least) dance. I prefer music to tech, but I knew I'd be practically certain to get music (I do all the music clubs and play violin), and I hate drama and dance. At least I still get to do some subjects I would otherwise have dropped, but it's annoying.

Why am I talking about school in a homeschoolers thread when I've never been homeschooled?

Maths can be fun when you apply it but learning it from a textbook is negatively boring. I learnt how about fractions and multiplication by doubling and tripling recipes, mostly biscuits. (cookies, for Americans)

I enjoy most of those subjects but I'm not very good at PE and I'm terrible at art. I LOVE drama, dance and music, especially dance. I'm not a huge fan of tech, however. (By tech, you do mean computer stuff, yes?)

I don't know but you're welcome to keep talking. It's rather interesting.

No, I mean food tech or wood tech (aka home economics or carpentry). Computer stuff is literally computing. Of course, if I take it for GCSE (which I plan to), it will be computer science.

Discworld reference. Although EcksEcksEcksEcks or XXXX or Fourecks or the Last Continent, is based on Australia, and I think one of the islands off it is New Zealand?? The national anthem thing is also a Discworld reference.

Discworld is a satirical fantasy series by Terry Pratchett.
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a sci-fi trilogy (in four five six parts), originally a radio series, by Douglas Adams.

They are a little different.
