Question for home school'd kids?

Sharee Doak: The school I went to was very easygoing, so I don't know if what I say is standard for all schools or not:I didn't have a set daily schedule. It was usually getting an assignment (or more than one) and completing it. Reading a textbook and doing the quizzes, prompts, or experiments that the textbook had. There was no specific time. The "estimated daily schedule" was about 4 hours of work a day. You could do more if you wanted, or you could go at your own pace. (I had the very bad habit of waiting until the last minute to work. Don't do that - it's stressful!)My teacher would either have me call her or email her once a week for daily attendence, and then would physically see me once a month. I handed in finished assignments then, and she gave me new ones to do for the next month.At the beginning, I took extracurricular classes that usually took me to school-owned buildings where other kids would also be. I didn't make any permanent friends here, because classe! s were only once a week and lasted for just a year. The only other time I saw kids was during a physical health inspection where ALL the home schooled kids would go every two years to get their fitness tested.Cons: not too much social time. I stayed home a lot and wasn't very social, so I really have no friends. Perhaps that will be different for you.Pros: if you are interested in any kind of extra classes, you're probably lucky. My school had just about every kind of extracurricular class there was, including music, sports, science, drama, literature, you name it. I took guitar, piano, drawing, and even a LEGO engineering class. (That was fun!) And you can always go on vacation at any time. :DWell, this got kinda long, huh?Anyways, to sum it up: lots of perks concerning time and fun classes, but you never really see other kids. Be social! And have fun! Hope this helps....Show more
