Home school or public HS ?

Question

my mom said i can either stay in public high school or do online schooling next year. see, i don't really like public schooling. but online schooling i don't think i'd ever get to see my friends. eh.

Answer 1

i was home schooled for the last two

years of my high school. If your someone

who has a lot of friends and goes a lot then

home schooling is sort of fun,i partied way

to much though because of it. but you do

miss out on a lot of school experience

(personally, i never was into ASB or ANYTHING

relating to school lol) and for now that i did

homeschooling it has affected my knowledge.

& it makes you super lazy, now that i think about

it.....go to Public high school. cause after high school and

fun comes all the stress and responsibility

Answer 2

You just have to research both and think about the best way to approach each kind of education. Why don't you like PS and why wouldn't you see your friends if you HS? Think it all through. There is plenty of time before next fall.

Answer 3

public high school. its really hard to get motivated when you are sitting at home rather than in school

Answer 4

well it just depends on were your going to learn better

Answer 5

It's true you probably wouldn't see your friends as often as you do now, but as with anything, homeschooling is what you make it.  If you don't make an effort to get out and see people - you won't.  If you put effort into pursuing your interests, meeting new people and staying in contact with your old friends - you will.

What are you like in other areas of life?  If you are self-motivated, you will probably do fine.  If you are the type to make excuses, homeschooling will just be another excuse for why you're unhappy.

Good luck making a decision!

Answer 6

Definitely public HS.  Being around such a diverse crowd on a daily basis will help you to deal with all different types of people.

It's an experience you'll take with you for life.

Stuck behind a computer all day takes the social aspect away from learning.  I found I learned almost as much from classmates as I did the instructors.

Good luck.
