Previously un-schooled, going into high school. help?

Question

ok, so for the past two years, i've been un-schooled, meaning i didn't really follow a curriculum or structure. this september i will be a full-time freshman in high school- yikes! any tips to get back into the groove and not end up in a pile of homework in the first month?

thanks so much!

Answer 1

The good thing about high school is the fact that you are given daily and weekly deadlines that you need to follow. You'll be given homework on Monday, and it will most likely be due on Tuesday. That structure should help you to get back into the swing of things.

Also, make sure that you read what you are supposed to. That way, you won't get behind and have to cram on the night before a test.

Answer 2

It's probably going to be very hard in the beginning as you are not used to a schedule.  Do your homework and daily assignments everyday and keep a homework planner to help you stay on track.  Ask your teachers to help you out if you need.

Answer 3

Well, you will probably end up with a pile of homework regardless of where you did your schooling the past two years. :\ That's the way high school usually is. The key is to stay on top of it right from the beginning so that the pile doesn't become a mountain. That very first day of school, go home and immediately get started on your homework. Each and every day, you should do homework. If you are done, then spend time studying--or even reading ahead, if you know what's going to be read. It'll save you time when 3 different teachers assign essays or major projects at the same time--you'll have already read the class stuff so you can focus on the actual work.
