How to finish high school?

Question

i was expelled in 10th grade and was put on home school. have been on home school for 1 year i am now a junior... well home school is stupid to me because i have all the answer keys and thats how i get through it i feel like i havnt learned anything but if i actually sat down to do the work really do it i wouldnt graduate for another 3 or 4 years!!! thats why i copy. so anyway copying is sooo boring i don't know what to do and even by copying i cant graduate for another 2 years. but recently i actually got interested in wanting to graduate and go to college and really study i just think high school is stupid and you dont really need half of it. do you have any pointers on how to get a diploma faster or how i can change my study habits to get this done because lately i have almost gave up home school since all i do i sit there and copy it gets old very fast especially since ive been on it for a year..

Answer 1

You're not doing homeschooling.  You're doing home-bound education from your school.  This is *very* different from homeschooling.

If you cannot make it doing high school level work, what makes you think you'll be able to handle college???  Are you going to continue copying your way through college?

If you want to graduate early, then consider taking some community college classes.  You can get dual credit (high school and college) to help speed along the process.

Answer 2

The first problem is you are lazy and you don't like to work!  Your post says that over and over again.

If you are really serious about school work and you have changed your attitude, there maybe a slight chance for you to resume your studies at the high school.

There is also a possibility that you can get a GED and go to school at night to get your diploma.

Good luck and don't stop trying.

Answer 3

Sounds like you have no guidance and certaintly no motivation. If you feel you can do college type of work why don't you see about getting into your local community college now. Just remember without some kind of diploma you cannot get a descent job or ever make much money.

Answer 4

Without high school you WON"T survive a 4 year college or University, because Algebra-Trig is a first year course for general majors and Calculus for science majors

You also have to take a Math and English placement exam and in most colleges you can't get in unless you pass it

That leaves JC or CC (2 year schools)

They take anyone, except in NY where you need a HS dipolma or GED to go to a JC or CC

In CA all you have to be is 18 or a HS graduate.
