Im 16 years old and attending Continental Academy. I left the 8th grade in feb. 07 to attend their home schooling program. I looked questions up about the school in the answers section and found out that people where getting denied jobs and into schools, but other people where getting better jobs and into schools. I've been thinking about this for the past week. I'm afraid to back to school because that means I wont finish until I'm 21 and I'll have to go back to middle school and be 17 in the 8th grade. The only reason I didn't really look into the school was because my cousin attended it and now she is in a community college. The only thing is she left public schools in the 11th grade. Does anybody have any information that will help me out. I really would appreciate it. I live in Norfolk, Virginia if anyone needs to look into any information.

Check to see if you are eligible to take the GED test instead.

Hey! I'm a mom of two kids. One is just fine in school, the other could not hear until he was in school -- so naturally he is delayed. Public school is not set up to handle this type of problem so I tried other alternatives. There is homeschool material that you can try, there are also virtual public schools starting to pop up. You may want to consider one of these as an option that way you could work at your pace and not have to drag it out so long. You will need to research your state laws if you decide to do the homeschooling, every state is different. That is not to difficult -- google!
