Krystin, In the case that you don't end up doing the home school thing, you should, before you begin your sophomore year of high school, check out the Post-Secondary Enrollment Option. This program allows you to attend college classes half days, two or three days a week, for free, and get high school and college credit at the same time. It's perfect. I'm doing it right now, and I really like it. I'm out of high school a lot, and my college classes are much more interesting than my high school ones. I think, if you're not homeschooled, that you should definitely check out the program.
Or, you could do homeschooling and go to college earlier. They're telling me that, most likely, if I do homeschooling and then for some insane/fucked up reason that I wasnt to go back to public, I'm going to be a grade or two ahead, in most cases. It sounds like a wet dream of utter grooviness.
No parent-teaching crap. If you have any questions about anything, JMHS has a hotline that you can call and you can talk to somebody there who will help you. They were really nice. We stayed on the phone with a lady at the enrolling office for nearly an hour talking about the schools and the lady at the enrolling office talked about hers and that she had to go through a lot of the same thing and would have rather been homeschooled... etc... I think I'm the same way with the eccentricity. I do tone it down at home, a lot more, but for some reason that's not enough and she thinks I'm "weird"...
Yes... I have coined it my self. It's really a wet dream of utter grooviness... it's like... sliced bread, times two... or maybe even three.
I didn't mean to offend! It's just a lot of the girls at my school want to marry rich and so they can live their lives in laziness. I know they can do better, though. After I feel like my purpose in life is fulfilled, I probably will settle down, too, with a family of my own. But these girls want to raise a family just because they think it's easiest. I don't think I'm superior to them or anything...I was just joking around. Thanks a lot for all the feedback. I am definetely going to check out JMHS. My only qualm about it is Journalism (publications specifically). But maybe I can work something out with my teacher.
Freebird, good luck I'd have probably liked to have been homeschooled. Alas it's a bit late in the game, seeing as I'm at university. Having read up in the subject my lousy memories on high school had been warped into some crazy paranoia of the education system. So now I'm planning [way ahead] to homeschool my future offspring. I did that too, in an exam. They said write about the hidden curiculm in school. So I ranted about conformity, mind control and such. Just wound up with a shit grade in subject that has fuck all use in real life anyway. Viva la resistance
The reason classes are so full is because of the money they get and not wanting to build onto the school because they're cheap and greedy.
My mom's friend works at a juvy hall... my grandmother was a doctor who worked at a prison in Gibsonville, North Carolina also. The prison would charge $5.00 for aspirins or tylenol and she used to just give them for free.
Well... at least they get it... more than you need is always better than nothing... but that is kinda screwed up sometimes. That's just like people from Mexico trying to have a baby in the US and the US takes them in and pays for their medical bills and meals and takes their family in and pays for them too so they can get more people to move here and work...
