Homeschoolers?

[Gonff]

I think grades just get messed up when youre a homeschooler. like, I'm doing collage history and science, but 9th grade math.

Yes, they do. I always say the worst question for a homeschooler is, "What grade are you in?"

As for math, I usually like math but I can understand those who don't, it can be very frustrating. Of course my whole math experience was kinda messed up in the first place. I skipped 7th grade math (called The Fundamentals of Math in the homeschool curriculum we use. ) And the first high-school math I did was Geometry (without doing any Algebra first). The next year I did Pre-Algebra, but since that was I total waste of time I decided to skip Algebra 1 and do Algebra 2 the next year. I got about half of it done and this year I'll be finishing it and doing Consumer Math, next year will be Pre-Calculus. I use a homeschool DVD program where my teachers are on DVDs and have been since I started high school, although I've been homeschooled all the way through. It's not like an online program, but it is nice to have different teachers for each subject, and mom was kind of getting overloaded homeschooling four of us herself. It can be annoying because it takes a lot more time though.

I wonder why so many people on this forum seem to be homeschooled! I don't personally know anyone who was and I wasn't. I do wonder how things might have turned out had I been, but it wasn't really an option.

It is very interesting indeed. I think many homeschoolers read Redwall. Once, we got together with some of our friends, some homeschooled, some not, and we started talking about something in the Redwall series without saying what it was from. The homeschoolers knew exactly what we were talking about, while the others were somewhat lost.

I can't really say that I've had a normal homeschooling experience as this year I'm going to the local public school for the last to periods of the day (taking Advanced Chemistry and Chorus second semester). I'm also participating in the school Drama Club and have done so for the past several years. At least 5 times in the past two weeks I've had the "what grade are you in?" conversation and had to explain how I'm sort of graduating this year, sort of next year. (Basically, I could graduate this year and I'm having a graduating party this year with my sister, but I'm going to be doing a couple of advanced high school courses next year.)

Hey there! And I was sort of being sarcastic. But it's going to be fun.

It is a little scary at first but definitely fun too. It has been very interesting, because my sister has been going to the public school part time for a couple years like I am doing this year and she's much more outgoing then I am. We both have fun but in different ways. Everyone knows her and is constantly asking me, "Are you [my sister's name]'s sister?"

I was thinking the other day, shouldn't you technically be called home scholars? Sounds much grander than 'schoolers' at any rate.

Home scholar, yes that is a good word for it. 

[rachel25]

yes! yes it is! 

[Faiyloe]

From now on I am a Home Scholar! Not like I'm being very studios. I have been procrastinating all day.

Wordly wise for the win.  I annoy the heck out of one of my older sisters with my rather extensive vocabulary.

Don't call her a girl to her face, she just might knock the stuffing out of yours.  And she doesn't even lift! 

[Leatho Shellhound]

I don't lift either, so I'm safe!

Thanks!  I use it a lot... Don't know if that's a good thing though.
