home school rocks!
it is a wonderful opportunity for both the parents and the child. I was home schooled all my life up to now (dual enrollment 11Th grade/college). home schooled kids have a lot fewer problems than most public schooled kids. we make Friends very easily, we get along with most people because we are not raised in "cliques" like most kids. in MOST cases we have BETTER social skills than public schooled kids because we get to be around a lot more types of people. my parents made sure that we got out in the community, went on field trips (home school groups, 4-H, and many other community clubs), spent time in museums, got to talk/know the directors of at least 3 museums (2 of which I still have contact with, great home work helpers), and we were exposed to "real life" every day. while public schooled kids were reading about sea turtles we were touching them and talking to a Marine biologist. while public school kids were studying the civil war we were reenacting it, you get the idea... my dad is a college math teacher too, so from the academic side we are well educated. One thing I find very funny is that I started college 2 years early and I am in more advanced classes than 95% of the high school grads from 2006. I also have 5 friends from my home school group that started 2 years early with me. in home schooling I was not exposed to drugs, alcohol, school shootings, racism, and a world of other problems that public schooled kids have. I did get real life experience, a great education, am not in any way racist, don't do drugs, drink, or go shooting people I don't like.
oh, and do not listen to any one who says that home schooling is bad for kids. it is not. I am living proof. I have great social skills, and lots of friends.
I want people to see the "real story" on homeschooling.. many have the idea kids are locked in their house studying 8 hrs a day. this is not true at all.
and how is sitting in a room with 40 other kids that were born within a year of you the "real world"? where in the "real world" will you be in that kind of situation?

First did he just find out that your were thinking about home school? cause if so, this feelings may be a ploy, his knowing that it may go know where and there will be no long commitment to you, or if not than the feelings may be true but remember knowledge and being happy while learning is best just think get home schooled get a great education than you get a great job and find a great man that respects your decisions. Most of do what you feel is right it's your choice.

What grade are you in?
I would suggest if you are wanting to get out of high school and on to college quicker then home school.
Start taking your pre requisite classes for college now, when you graduate from high school you will enter college with one year under your belt!
Education first......everything else will find its place.
From the Professor with a hammer....Good Luck

I think you should do what you had planned to do and not do anything because of some boy you might have a crush on at the moment. Put him out of your mind - he shouldnt be part of your decision. Good luck. bettyk

I think kids that are home schooled never learn decent social skills. see, you're in school right now, you have a crush on someone, that teaches you how to interact with your peers and kids of the opposite sex. how you gonna meet people and have friends if you stay at home all day? I don't understand it. do you know how big the world is?

Wouldn't it be "interesting" if this guy would also enjoy being home schooled and your home school tutor would (for a small fee) also tutor him?
It prob. would be just as interesting for the tutor to "watch" the blooming relationship, hey!

well, not to put pressure on you, but i think you should really stay in school. i mean, i dont know if hes that kind of guy, but if you leave, who knows, he might end up flirting, or even more, date, another girl. i mean, out of site, out of mind. but whatever you want .
=] good luck

Stay in school! Even if this guy doesn't turn out to be that special one, staying in school will give you more opportunities to meet many more people! Things with this guy sound great and happening so I would stay in and see what happens! The opportunies and friendships you make in school can be extremely worthwhile, I would stay!
