unless we move somewhere, the schools in our area are about 2 setps away from being taken over by the state. so there is no way my glrles are goint to public school. i used to be totally aginst it bedause lack of social interaction but when your option is horrible schools or homeschool, i take homeschool anyday
That doesn't really put school schoolers in a good light of being paragons of social engineering, or anything of the sort. And my other post wasn't very sarcastic, no. GPAs in a lot of Canada and pretty much all America, especially at the college level where it counts, tops out at 4.0. To be getting a 4.5 you have to be going to say, Manitoba, that has a 4.5 max GPA. Or a school that has a 12.0 max GPA. Take it as sarcastic if you want...but most schools in America and the world, use a 4.0 scale for GPA. Which is why seeing a 4.5 GPA is an oddity.
i live in north carolina. i took honors english, honors algebra 2, honors world history, honors biology, band 1 and 2, gym, and drafting. i'll just make a crappy table of the credits earned here: grade-standard-honors a-4-5 b-3-4 c-2-3 d-1-2 f-0-0 take the amount of credits and divide by the number of courses you took. i got all a's in 8 classes, 4 honors, 4 standard. 4 x 5 + 4 x 4 = 36. 36 / 8 = 4.5 might just be my county but all i know is i have a 4.5 and i shouldn't have called it arguing, more like internet debating
My Ex-Wife tried it with my kids. In the end they were isolated from most other kids, and when the finally entered public school they had a hard time adapting. Now that a few years have past they are doing much better than they were at home.
In my high school, one could only earn a 4.0 maximum, honors classes included. That being the case, there was no real reason (aside from "quality" of education) for me to take an "honor's" course.
I was homeschooled from grades 8-12. Highschool is synonymous with hell in my opinion. God I hated that place. I think I turned out alright.
I have no problem with homeschooling. With exceptions of course, the majority of public schools are awful. Shamefully, a lot of good teachers get lost among mostly bad ones and thus the negative perception exists.
Fair enough, and true. Generally. However, there are schools out there where the teachers really aren't worth a shit and no one cares. I should know, I've seen it first hand, I've attended some of these schools. There are two sides to every story, and the honest truth is that public or home schooling can work, it just depends on whether or not luck's on your side, really.
I totally agree with you. However, the public schools I went to were actually very good, save for my junior high school. Many are obviously failing.
i don't know why you guys are blabbing on about home schooled kids being jerks yet i have been home schooled for 2 years and im not stupid!
my b how is being a jerk related to being stupid? a few homeschoolers i've met have been jerks and blab about getting a better education and being smarter than me
that statement is hilariously hypocritical in 2 ways. first, it's my sisters and i. second, claiming to be the only decent homeschoolers in the entire uk is pretty arrogant and borderline jerk material for 8th grade our school didn't want to get a bus to take the 10 of us to the local high school to take our math class there, so if we couldn't drive to the other high school which was ~30 minutes away we had to take an online course in the library. the work only took 5 minutes and left the leftover 1.5 hours to do whatever
