You do the work that is available, whatever that may be. This will help you get money for books, if there is help at the college you attend, apply there, They may know of work that is available for students. Sooner or later you need to come to a decision of what you would like to do, or you would be floating through life without an aim.What are you good at, and what are your likes and dislikes? Even the very best job you may get will take some adjustments and have in it something or someone, you will have to learn to cope with. Best of luck.

... after working at Head Start and doing teacher aid work in a middle school- I agree!\n\nThe teacher aid work made me change my mind about teaching. The teacher didn't have enough time to spend with the kids who WANTED to learn, much less dicipline those who were distruptive. The class was getting a mediocre education, at best.\n\nMy parents pulled me out after 8th grade and home schooled me. I passed the college tests, and started taking college courses alot sooner than most... Overall, my year and a half of being home schooled equalled four years of high school!\n\nUntil I did my teacher aid work, I still thought that maybe Home School kids don't get the socialization that is approprait. I think that I would trade any percieved "lack of socialization" to homeschool again, because when the school systems fail, there are bigger drawbacks than "lack of socialization"!\n\nAlso, nowadays, there is the internet and more homeschool "groups" than there was in the 80s :)

Several things:\n\n1. Exposure to ideas and people different from what you are used to\n2. Learning more about damn near everything if you take the right classes\n3. More job opportunities\n4. Higher pay once in those opportunities\n5. Sense of pride in what you've accomplished\n6. And some people think you're smart if you have a degree (which isn't necessarily true)

If you actually went a school, then you might be brainy enough.  HAHAHA Louise

I truly believe that people attend school in order to get an education. Then, I know that they can learn. Only when one has a serious mind about ANYTHING, does it become successful. Home schooling has its place, but it is not for everyone. Then, some home schoolers, attend regular schooling part time, for gym and other activities. This can make a well rounded situation for the educated ones. All of this is a matter of conjecture. God Bless.

I was home schooled, as were several of my brothers and we all agree that it's more detrimental than beneficial most of the time.  It took me quite a while to overcome the deficiencies I had in social education.  My interaction with others was so limited and on such a strange level that I was socially backward for most of the time I was in the public education system after my time at home.  I also feel that my educational experience suffered.  I'm not saying don't, but I do suggest that you think carefully about the reasons you're doing it.

YOu come to love school when you realize that educating yourself is the best investment you will ever make.  Take a look around the world, in most cultures (take China) for example, you have to pay for all of the education you get, not just by paying taxes or college tuition, either, by the class paying for the books and supplies out of your own pocket, K-12.  When I went to the Philippines children who did not have the proper clothing or shoes were prohibited from attending school.\n\nLook at school as an adventure for the mind.  It will amaze you when learning takes you to places you've never been!

A job you enjoy & they'll pay for your tuition??\n\nI know what I'd be doing! Figure out a way to do school part time and do both!\n\nWho is the employer? Sign me up!

Just this... that I was careful not to let schooling interfere with my education. Sounds like a paradox right?

Here's how I benefited from going to an out-of-state school:\n1. Gained more independence\n2. Became more responsible\n3. Grew up faster because I had to make more decisions on my own, cook for myself, couldn't always run to my parents to solve my problems\n4. Appreciated my parents more because I was away from them\n5. Made new friends because I wasn't always hanging out with the old ones\n6. Experienced new things and places because of a new surrounding\n7. Broadened my horizon to be in a different place with different groups of people

No, there is nothing bad about going to an "Alternative" School. In fact, it is usually quite good. Alternative schools generally provide alot better life skills training and are generally better in studies as they are more focused.

Sure, school is often a haven for kids who have a difficult home situation. There are a lot of reasons:\n1. School is predictable and offers a routine schedule. So most of the time you know what to expect and can be prepared for it. This may be very different from a chaotic, unpredictable home life.\n\n2. School can provide a place where you have relationships with people who are consistently giving you positive feedback. You can have friends and teachers who care about you and who are interested in you.\n\n3. School work can provide a way for you to excell at something and get positive feedback for it. It can give you a sense of accomplishment that you don't get from your family.\n\n4. School can provide non-academic ways to be a part of something and feel accomplishment, such as athletics or clubs. \n\n5. School can help you see a future for yourself when you don't see a future if you just looked at your own difficult family situation.\n\n6. School can also provide a place to have someone to talk to about your troubles--your teachers, your school counselor or your school psychologist.\n\nThese are just a few ideas about how school can help you get past difficult times at home. Almost everyone has difficult times, but it is friends and people who care about you who help you through it. Encourage your friend to talk to people who can help him.

Develope the attitude that what you are learning in school is what will allow you to have a better life AFTER school. The knowledge you gain now will be the key to getting any kind of life you want after you graduate.\n\nLook at it this way. You only spend 12 years in school.\nIf you live to be 62 years old you will have lived for 50 years after graduating from school. Those 12 years in school are the foundation that determine how good or how bad the next 50 years will be. And with a bit of luck and taking care of your health there is no reason you can't live to be 82! Now you're looking at 70 years after school. That's a long time to be unhappy because you didn't apply yourself in school.\n\nWhat you do in school will make the difference between living in a nice home, or a not so nice home. Have nice clothes or raggedy clothes. Whether you drive a nice car or a not so nice car.  There is a guy I went to school with who still rides a bicycle. That's good for his health, but he screwed up his life so bad now he can't afford a car and the insurance for one.\n\nLook around at people who are doing the things you want to do after graduation and decide what it will take to be able to live like them. Imitate what they did to get there and you will be on the right road.\n\nIf you are a young person who grew up with arcades and video games that have a very fast pace that would account for your feeling bored in school. But, life doesn't move at the pace of video games either and you will have to get used that or be condemned to a miserable life of boredom. \n\nAt least you seem to care about getting good grades or you wouldn't be here asking questions like this. That is a good sign\n\nIf you start thinking of the "boring" things in school as important things that will get you a better life, you will eventually stop being bored and apply yourself cheerfully.\n\nI have to warn you, there are danger signs in your spelling that indicate you are not good in that area. If you fill out a job application with spelling mistakes it could lose you that job.\n\nYou wrote.....................    ..with out geting board"........................     It should have been spelled.........without getting bored\n\nKnowledge is the key to success. Knowledge will allow you to live the life you want. Go for it now or lose out for  the rest of your life...........

there are neighbourhood schools that aren't that good, and then there are some which are. Whether a school is good or not, depends on the quality of the teachers, the mentality of the students, and the resources available to the school. another issue is, what do you define as a good school? Is a good school one that produces students who get straight-As?or students who develop a passion for off-the-beaten path subjects, like Literature, or Music, or Art, or Media and Communications? Sometimes, its hard to bridge the discrepancy between staying in school and getting good grades, and dropping out/taking the road less travelled in order to pursue what you love. Let's face it, the education system here does not suit everyone, and indeed, having gone through the almost ideal Good Secondary Sch - Good Junior College - Good University bit, I cant say that I learnt anymore than others who have not, nor do i feel schooled in the ways of the world. Having done some teaching in a neighbourhood school, I realised that many students are simply unmotivated and teachers don't have the resources to motivate each and every student. It's sad, but thats life.

It is important to go to school, because at school you learn things that will help you run your life. When you grow up, you need to have gone to school to get a job and earn money. If nobody went to school, then everyone would be stupid, and nobody would run our country, then the whole world would be messed up.
