Is anyone here homeschooled?

Question

If so, do you like it? What's the homeschooling program you're in?

Answer 1

I am homeschooled, and I don't like it, I LOVE it. I go to K12 virtual Acadamies. Its cool to be homeschooled. I'm 15 and in high school. :)

Answer 2

I was. I got to start college at 16, so yeah, homeschooling rocks. Except for the lack of social interaction. But, oh well, I'll get over that. And I was just homeschooled, don't remember the program.

Answer 3

Yep, I like it a lot. Mostly because I'm homeschooled and go to a community college too. I used to go to an enrichment program called Eagleridge, which was really nice, but it's only in AZ. Contact your state's education organization and ask them about local homeschool programs.

Answer 4

yes, I homeschooled from the 6th through 12th grades, and (for the most part) LOVED it. Don't listen to those who claim that there is a lack of social interaction- they either choose not to be involved, or are unaware of the vast opportunities available to homeschoolers. There are, of course, positives and negatives to any educational experience, but social interaction needn't be a factor.

My family used several curriculums through the years:

Switched-On Schoolhouse- a computer based curriculum where all text and homework is done on-screen. Pros- automatic grading. Cons- difficult to work math on a screen, strains eyes, small text.

Abeka Book - Not my favorite. Pricey, if I recall. Pros- much review. Cons- much work.

Saxon Math - Saxon was very to-the-point. The books were all black and white when we used them. Pros- many examples. Cons - not very visually interesting.

Bob Jones - LOVED it. Their texts are informative, but interesting. Big plus: there is an optional satellite program where a live instructor teaches you the material via television.

Answer 5

Yes, yes, yes, I was homeschooled for 5 years, LOVED IT!!!! I began at a community college when I was still be homeschooled at the age of 15, the same year was accepted to a four year university. I am now getting ready to receive my degree after four years. It feels great. I was not in a specific program. My mom or no one else stood over me and told me what to do. You have to want it for yourself. I didn't use regular text books I used multiple and various library books. I loved being myself, studying at my own pace, doing community service, serving God, and just HAVING FUN!!!! If you have more questions email me. I really truly enjoyed being homeschooled!!! There are other programs that you can join to encourage social interaction. My sister was in the Upward Bound Program at a local university with other teenagers. I joined sports and played AAU basketball and went on to play college ball. There are ways that you can interact with others your age if homeshooling is right for you. And it just feels comfortable!!!

I'm homeschooled. I don't really like it, but I'd rather be homeschooled that go to private school. When I went, it was HORRIBLE!!

I have friends who are homeschooled and they love it because they never have to leave the comfort of their home and their mom is a teacher
