Being home-schooled is infinitely better than normal school, in my opinion.

Debates are terrible! All they do is cause hate. Or fires. No thread acting as a catalyst for debate should be allowed on Scratch! What a terrible idea this was.

this, unless its a real debate (like debate team) because ppl r actually moderating it EVERY SINGLE SECOND it goes on (not saying mods r doing a bad job, but they cant mod one topic forever till its closed)

Through out my experience (and I have done both BTW) I really liked normal school much more. First of all, normal school provides opportunities for after school clubs and sports. Secondly, It gives you a chance to meet new friends. Finally, even though you might say that home-school is more flexible course wise, you can pretty much learn anything you want from the internet these days. Take this site for example. I've learned most of Calculus and a lot of Physics this summer.

I don't know the definition of "After School Clubs," but I go to plenty of clubs-that-are-after-school.

Well, I have plenty of friends anyway, but I supposed that's almost completely due to the fact that I'm a Jehovah's Witness, and so I have lots of friends in my congregation.

So, why would staying in school all day give you more time on the internet?

No, I'm just saying that you don't have to learn only what they are teaching you in school. BTW, are you home-schooled? If so, have you ever been in a regular school?
