Homeschooled? Hate your ciriculum? Looking to connect with your fellow Homschoolers? Then looks no further then this thread! We can complain about our Math, or science or whatever subject you hate. Maybe someone skilled in that subject will help us... Here we can sympathise with each other. Write on! Did you know that was homeschooled?

I'm glad you enjoy it. I would hate to be in public school. I normally get my stuff done before lunch too.

I have been homeschooled since 9th grade. Why, you may ask? Because I went to two different public junior highs and came to find that girls are evil, that's why!!!! I would rather take on a whole battalion of orcs than deal with the evil girls again! Or maybe the Sith... Anyways, we were doing A Beka until this year because I got REALLY bored with it because both my parents work so I was basically doing it all by myself, so we joined this charter school in hopes that it would be better, but it really isn't. The curriculum is so stupid. So hopefully I pass the math section of the CHSPE, which I took for the third time last Saturday, and will be free of high school and able to go on to college.
In fact, the other reason I was homeschooled is because I had a best friend who was too, but after a year of 9th grade we had a falling out (don't ask) so basically I had no one to talk to all last year...
My favorite part of my curriculum is the Geometry and history. Shocker, considering I absolutely hate math...

*jumps up and down* I'm homeschooled! *is happy* I find my biology fasinating, and my geometry is okay. (*is somewhat dreading proofs* Are they really as bad as every one says?) One cool thing about being homeschooled is that when I get writting assignments I can do them about LotR! Yea!

I love being homeschooled; been so my whole life. We do Sonlight Curriulum, which is a really great History and reading thing. For Math, I do the Key To... books. English I take online, at EPGY, a product of Stanford University. I take drama at the local teater, and I love it. I also take fencing. *modestly* They say I'm very good at it.

I sympathise Trin. THey are evil. But I had problems since the beginning with evil girls. I've never been very well liked because of my outright differences. But I love being homeschooled.

I'm homeschooled! I have been my whole life. I now use Switched-on-Schoolhouse which is a computer program and easier than Abeka which I used to use. It only takes me about 45 minutes to an hour to do my school. It rocks.

Abeka is EVIL! (mutters) I have been homeschooled all of my life, thus you can believe me when I say I never had a life. Snrk. I used 100% Abeka until this yeah (must...smuush...boring...english...and...scary...spelling...) We switched to sonlight... but I still have to do Abeka math. (ergh)
Sblomie, what level of Sonlight are you on? (Sheesh, I love that program! They have all this great reading, and all that...)

I did Abeka for the last two years and absolutely despised it! The math was horrible! I am also having problems with my geometry now, though. No one is home to teach it to me and show me how to do it. It's really frusterating because I can't get behind, yet I am really confused because all I can do is read it and attempt to figure it out.

YIPPEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! I'M HOMESCHOOLED, TOO!!!!!! Heh heh...Geometry? I...do that along WITH my Math, which I absolutely despise. It's not that i have trouble with Math, just that I don't like it. We use Weaver, anybody heard of it? i say "we" because I have one little brother and five little sisters, and my Mom homeschools us all (well, except for the baby, who's only, like, 9 months old). I've been homeschooled all my life, and I like it better than the thought of having to go to public school. ;D

*IS JEALOUS, for she is not homeschooled and deals with a) evil females, b) stupid teachers c) getting marks taken off for writing on lotr or the matrix.* I have been begging my parents to home school me for like all my life. People at school don't like me. I am jealous of you all. Then again, the computer would take over. *snickeR*

Rejoice for Computer school courses exisist! Just have your parents read this thread and maybe we will all get some understanding that abeka is not the best way to go...and to convince your parents that homeschooling is much better.

YES! People in public schools are EVIL BEYOND REASON! I wanted to be homeschooled, but would my parents let me?! NO!
And now they're homeschooling my sister.
They must love her more. I'm running away and joining the circus. ;-)

I survived two different public middle schools (we moved the summer in between 7th and 8th grade). I will agree that public school isn't the best, but you CAN live through it. Now, that is not to say that I am without a substantial amount of mental scarring. But I wouldn't be the person I am today if I hadn't been through what I was. Lord knows I wouldn't wish it on anyone else, though... AND GIRLS ARE EVIL!!!! And boys are gross...
And now I'm homeschooled and don't have to deal with it all anymore *parties*!!!!

Abeka math is EVIL BEYOND REASON! Seriously, if anyone ever reads this who is an adult and considering homeschooling their kids, PLEASE, HEED OUR WORDS! DO NOT, EVER, FOR ANY REASON GO WITH ABEKA MATH!!!!!!!!!!!
Heh. I'm stuck with it though, because our supervisior though, as I had done it all my life, it would be better not to switch me now, at 14/15 ish. Heh. But I'm doing consumer math this year, and it's a lot more fun...
Because I actually think there's a point to it. Snrk.
Hey, Vana and Maeg, why don't you move to Alberta, and maybe I can convince my mom to homeschool you two along side of me... snicker.

I would, Eowyn, but I'm in college now. I doubt my school would accept homeschooled credits. Besides, I've got a scholarship so I'm not paying for anything but books. (Yay!)
People are nicer in college. Most of the evilness dissappears.
I think my sister uses Switched On Schoolhouse software and some math book... the name escapes me. I know she'd looked at Abeka and Sonlight for curriculum, but decided on something else.
Maeg EVIL BEYOND REASON!

Oooo, Eowyn!!! I did Consumer math last year!!! It IS a lot better than regular math because there IS a point to it all!!! And it made me very good at percentages and decimals...
I went to a junior college last fall when I was 15 and the people ARE a lot nicer there. They are a lot more mature than high schoolers... except when they tell you how much they drink and party. That's a bit weird and alarming.

Anyone here do Streams of Civilization for history? I don't like it, I despise history. I find it rather pointless, who agrees? I had to retake the Chapter 3 test for book two today, 'cause I failed it the first time...I may have to take it again...it's a bunch of evil nonesense about who wrote what book, painted what painting, or wrote what peice of music during the enlightenment period...like I can memorize all that! I'm terrible at memorizing stuff. ;D

History's okay. They teach us for a reason, I guess, so that we can be proud of all the "great" things we've done, and so we don't make the same mistakes our ancestors did.
I'm on the tenth grade level, I think. A year ahead for my age.
What sort of math is everyone doing? I'm supposed to be doing gemetry, but my dad has to finish reviewing my algebra first... Argh, I might as well repeat it!
