It's a great place to socialize and you get some extra knowlege as a bonus. Seriously, I love going to school to be with friends and I love learning.

I feel that those who are against online schools have a very superficial view of the academia. Theres no negative undertones in what I have stated, but thats usually there problem.\n\nIn my opinion, a college education is a journey and no one should knows where they may end up until the they come to a crossroads (aka, any major problems along the way)\n\nLOL, to put it another way .... I wouldn't worry about what people have to say -- people do things differently. Everyone not going to agree but thats all apart of being human.\n\nHope that helps.

As a parent and a teacher, I know both sides and I don't like it.  It has taken away from things I wish my son were experiencing in school.  Things I did- fun things.  I don't like the way it makes my son's school look in the ratings, when I know for a fact that it is a good school.  I wouldn't send my son there if it wasn't.

It might be but the main point is try not to instilate to yourself to hate it; infact do the opposite.every time say to yourself that you love school.by the way, try to find out the reason, maybe there's sth in school that bother you.

Take a piece of paper and sit in a quiet place and just write phrases and thoughts that come to your head.  What would you like about going to that school?  What would be different for you?  How would you feel about yourself?  How would your future be different?  How would you feel if you got better in school and made your parents and relatives proud of you?  How would your future and jobs and life be different?\n\nThink of all these things and write what comes to your mind in any order.  Then take all your answers and put it in as good an essay form as you can, check your spelling, and ask someone to check your grammar for you.\n\nAnd good luck to you.

I agree with what many others have said here( Glurpy, Creatice Rae, Tammy R).  I have seen first hand, the bad homeschool situations and the good.  I know someone who was homeschooled  incorrectly.  I can see the damageing affects that it has had on her life.  I also see the lack of social skills from her and her siblings.  \n\nI also know people who have been homeschooled correctly.  I see that they are intelligent, and that they interact very well with other kids.  I have never heard any homeschool kid, tease another kid because of where they shop or how they dress.\n\nThe key to a good homeschool, lies in the commitment of the parents.  If you want your kids to learn, you will find the information that they can learn.  I have known of home school groups, that have sub groups, they may go to special reading groups at one family's home, or go do a science project at another home.  \n\nI was recently talking to my sister who is homeschooling her kids, I had been telliing her about a biography that I had just picked up at the library.  She asked me why I was reading that book. I told her that I had seen a movie about this person and that I thought that there were inaccurate things in the movie, so I did someresearch on the internet, and in the proccess became intrigued, I wanted to know more, so I went and got a couple books.  She said, "that is independent learning, that is what I am trying to teach my kids.  When you are curious about something, go do the research and find the facts."  We talked about the simiarities between what is happening in the world now, versus what was happening in the 19th centuriy and the lessons that could be learned from studying her life.  \n\nHome schoolers tend to love to learn.  That is something that goes out of most public school kids by about second grade.  There is nobody telling the kids that they are slow readers, or that they need to go to resource to fugure out math.  They all work at their own pace, and when they figure out a concept, then they move to the next.  They can be taught according to their own learning style- that is just not possible in a public school setting.  When there are 30 kids in one class, there is no way to take one-on-one time and make sure that everychild understands.  \n\nAs for social skills, I am not sure what the positive social skills I learned in school were. I can tell you the negative social skills I learned.  I learned that bullies should always get their way.  The teachers did not put an end to bullying, they just either told the kid who was being bullied that somehow it was their fault, or that they just needed to ignore the bully.  No one ever said stand up to the bully, and that will end it.  It was always, give the bully what they wanted.  I learned that the quality of a person is determined by the quality of their clothes and not by the quality of their character.  I learned that it is okay for two 6th graders to amke out in the halls, and the teachers won't stop it.    I learned that a person it automatically a "good person" if they are a cheerleader or a football player.  And you did not have to be good at either, to do them, you just had to be popular enough.    \n\nAlso Homeschool and pul ic school are not the only option anymore.  Many places have charter schools.  They are a great alternative to public schooling.  my other sister has her kids in one, they don't have the behavior problems that they do in public school, shi is not fighting with them about thier homework as much, they are understanding the subject matter.  It has all around been a very positive enviroment.  The teasing and bullying is not even allowed there.  The teachers stop it when it happens.  They don't baby the kids, but they do make sure they understand a concept before moving on.  They aren't laughed at for asking questions.  It is a great thing.  You could check into that as well.  \n\nAlso I don't believe in preschool.  I th

NO. I hated school. so i dropped out this yr. Senior year of highschool. But i now regret it. I've found that it's very hard to get a job, or for an employer to even take a second look at you, if you don't have a highschool education. However i'm going to get my GED, and try and make something of my life. But what i've found out is that, school may suck and be boring at times, but in the long run, it's necessary. So what ever you're thinking stay in school.

I find it educational, learnt stuff on here I didn't know before and my spelling has improved.  My son uses it for homework if he's struggling!\n\nSo I would say it is good!

At age 9 you hate school?  How come?  I always thought that school was fun especially at your age.  Is it teasing or bullying or what?

If ignorance is bliss, school is a deliberate attempt on its part to deprive me of happiness, the pursuit of which is my unalienable right according to the Declaration of Independence. I therefore assert my patriotic prerogative not to know the material at hand. \n\nin other words not me!

I'd have to know more thank 'its an alternative' school. Like does it work specially with children who have special needs? If it did, probably. Those kids have a hard time in school.

Hello,\n      The answer is : No, I do not like school.\nIt's not that I am the class dunce or something, I am fairly good in studies. But I do not like school as it curbs the natural creativity of an individual and forces them to conform to the "general" standards. Lets face it, Marks can never be the reflection of true merit. Exams and tests do not tell how good you are, they are just and indication of how many of the questions that came in the test were known to you or you managed to guess correctly. \n      About my school life, its damn fun! Me and my friends play pranks on teachers, students, staff, whatever... sure, you get caught occasionally, but you cant learn to ride a bike, without falling down. Thats the only bit that keeps me going to school (apart from my parents).

Homeschooling can be a great experience.  The education is flexible and full of awesome potential.  You have the option to pursue on a deeper level the subjects that interest you, and are not held back by other students.  The luxury to study at your own pace is invaluable.\n\nThe argument that homeschoolers suffer socially has little founding in reality.  I have never had any trouble "integrating into society," nor have any of my peers.  I was taught at home all 12 years, and I was never lacking friends.  I think that your social skills depend more on your upbringing and personality than where you go to school.  I was given a broad education that taught me to never stop loving to learn, and I am thankful to my parents for that.  They made huge sacrifices to teach me at home, and I appreciate them, as well as my education.
