Re: Homeschoolers Thread.

Yup.
I like being able to do GOOD math. In a public school you are either struggling or behind from what I've heard. I once saw their curriculum... High schoolers learning about mean, median, mode, and range??? I learned that in fifth grade! I mean C'mon world! WAKE UP

Re: Homeschoolers Thread.

Im in public. I would have been in Year 6 if I was born 18 days earlier. I'm 5b in EVERY subject, WAY WAY ahead of my school. I wish I was homeschooled or went to a better one where we don't do stupid stuff like 4*8.

Re: Homeschoolers Thread.

I'm in 6th grade (the 7th year), and I go to a public school.  Its OK, but I wish I was homeschooled.  and BTW, we 'LEARNED' averages (mean, median, mode, range) this year  tongue  I've known it since I was in 1st grade (the 2nd year).  Oh, and I have A's IN ALL MY SUBJECTS  big_smile


Yeah, I'm mostly inactive.  I check in once in a while though.  If you want to contact me, I have a contact form at my website, http://escratch.org

Thats great! Homeschooling is a good experience. As long as you do have social time. Because I know some people that are homeschooled, they are weird and they don't know how to socialize.  big_smile

Re: Homeschoolers Thread.

I am in public, and I am in the top 5% of the students. I have been able to do multiplication since 2nd grade, and division since 4th. Who says that all public-schooled kids are behind?

Re: Homeschoolers Thread.

Haha, the ething I liked most about homeschooling was never having to talk to those immature girls at my old school again. But by some stroke of fate a girl I knew transfered to the same school I took my SAT's at -.-

Way to stereotype!!!

Anyway, in 7th Grade math we re-learn the basics of those things and then they build on them with stuff like algebra. And those high-schoolers are probably the, uh, how to say nicely, ones that aren't intellectually inclined (my dad teaches them).
