Question

i have been homeschooling for s while. should i continue?

Answer 1

I don't know whether you have been *teaching* some homeschoolers or are *yourself* being homeschooled, but I am going to guess you are a student being homeschooled. Now, I have no idea what grade you're in, but I am going to assume you have at *least* entered junior high.
That said, I would ask why are you thinking about changing to a public (or maybe private) school? Is the work you are doing not challenging you? Or maybe *too* challenging? If it's *not* challenging you, then I would recommend you might try testing out of your grade and moving up a level, or maybe take some upper-level courses that would normally be for kids in higher grades.

If your work is challenging you *too* much (ever hear of ABeka Academy?), perhaps you can ask your parents/teacher if you could scale back the work a bit, and either do a couple of easier classes right now, or maybe slow your work down, so that you take longer to finish the school year; yes, it'll slow you down a little and make you a bit behind in your school year's schedule, but it will allow you to take more time to absorb the material and really *get* the subjects you're trying to learn.

Or, are you maybe feeling the lack of classmates? If that's the case, I would recommend looking into either sports (don't know if you're already involved in any), theater/drama (either sponsored by a local school or a community theatre), language clubs, or even "special interest" clubs, like anime club, for example. These would be quick ways to find yourself immersed in a group of people with similar interests as yourself.

Either way, public school in general right now doesn't seem to allow much customization when it comes to letting the student pick what he works on and when he works on it, so you're ahead there by being homeschooled. ..I'm also thinking I read not too long ago that homeschoolers have been consistently been getting the highest grades on standardized tests, so in terms of getting a "quality education," you're probably getting one. I could be wrong, and this is just a little random, but I'll bet you're probably pretty good at spelling, too. Homeschoolers are regular champions at spelling bees.

So, I don't know anything about your situation, but I hope this was useful to ya! ^_^

Answer 2

i am a homeschooler and if you are a parent i say that 5 or more kids means homeschooling maybe. 6 or more kids means you really should. I was put in because of bullies and I went to catholic school. I remember one of my friends getting beat up to the ground every day. So if they are not working up to full potential try a different approach. I learned this much from it and i am only 10.

Answer 3

Since each case is individual, that's going to depend on a lot of factors!

What do you think? What reasons are there for you to stay with homeschooling? Or to go to a public or private school?

Answer 4

if you think you want to get back in to public school you need o think carefully about if you really want to do that. remember homeschooling and public school are completly different. basically public schools suck and are very stressful. you need to talk to your parents and probably a counselor to help you go over the pros and cons. also y ou may be more advanced than students your own age. you might be put in a grde with older kids.
