I'm homeschooling next year for 10th grade, but I'm unsure if I'd like to go back to public school?

Question

Right now I really hate public high school and how it all works.

But the problem is, I am going to an alternative school next year, through which I home-school and attend a couple classes there 2 days a week.

The courses I want to take when I homeschool are different than what the public schools should I ever want to go back to public school.

So if I go back ever would they put me in courses intended for the previous grades??

One part of me REALLY wants to study the things I'd like to study like American History and Microbiology, but then of course I have to take "world history" and "chemistry" in public school.

I don't think I'll want to go back (I love self-teaching and independency) but I do have that slightest, slightest doubt in my mind.

In any case, if I continue with homeschooling I have my whole 4 years planned out and I will end up studying chemistry and world history in 11th grade anyhow!!!

What should I do? Does anyone have any advice?

Answer 1

I'm homeschooled right now. i did homeschooling last year and they never gave me the other courses

call the school that you may go back to and ask, or the bord of education.

i also love doing my work when i want, my only advice it dont get lazy, (im sure your not, you sound like a hard worker) im just letting you know.

and also you should work at least three hours a day 6-7 days a week.

i think we learn more in home school, then public school.

good luck

i wish you the best!

Are you  sure that u  are really strong or mastering in microbiology or chemistry like Bill Gates very good at computer language in his young age?  You could test yourself before you make a decision to do home schooling.  Could you follow by your own time table precisely by time to self study in your favorite subjects in your daily life?  Do you plan to go to college in the future?  How those top notch school buy your excellence knowledge in those described field you mention you have kicked on books by yourself without any official records if you would like to go to those famous Long Ivy Colleges?  Unless you would like to drop your future in educating yourself in universities...Nowadays, most big cooperation  companies especially top 100 will check your graduation certificate when you got an interview.  Till then how do you persuade them you got such kind super power in their field by what?  Think about it... Unless you could imitate what Bill Gate did- Be Your Own Boss.  You got to listen what your parent opinions in your choose if they are serious about your education.  Also you got to think about your future life rather studying but working in a real world.  Go check it up and think twice before you leap.... son.  I bet you are a smart kid, but you could spend more time in your favorite subjects after school.  Why not go to school?  To meet some people, nice or bad and learn the real world looks like.

Answer 3

That little bit of doubt is fear of doing something out of the norm.  Don't make decisions out of fear.  You've thought through your choices before and it sounds like you have a great program.  Have fun with it and look forward instead of back!

"So if I go back ever would they put me in courses intended for the previous grades??"

You really can't ask us this. You need to be asking the school that you might return to. Find out that before making your decision.
