First: Warpdrive or wormholes are the only possible solution to that problem.

Second:

You can't actually see nebulae with the naked eye, those are filtered by wavelength to have color.

Whatever Wylder...

Sky, that's great!

I dropped half my courses before the deadline, so it's been a pretty good semester with only two classes.  That's an hour and a half a day, but it's still a lot of work outside of class.

Thank you, Banya!

That sounds nice, too!

I got a 75% scholarship to one of the most prestigious schools in my area. It's also the school I want to go to. I'm stoked.

So, I've been considering switching from homeschool to private school. Do you guys have any pointers or warnings you could give me, or any reasons I should just stay homeschooled?

Because any school system will fill your head full of useless junk? And you can't really learn it at your own pace.

I went to a private school from Kindergarten till 4'th grade, and from what I recall, Everyone (or almost everyone) there are complete snobs.

Private school has a reputation for being more academically advanced than public school, and I don't know how true that is, but I can tell you that from my experience, the atmosphere is really negative and awful

But that could just be the one I went to. The one I went to was a Catholic school, which shouldn't be a problem. But in time, it became a place for parents to isolate their children from other religions and ideas, and less of a place for learning more than in public school.

Though that is just my experience. For all I know, most private schools could be great places to learn.
