Question..

[DaynieBurger]

ps.. sorry for basically taking over your thread DaynieBurger, it was never my original intention..

Hah, I don't mind.. it's interesting where this debate is going.

There's plenty of other ways to have social interaction with your peers other than school. I think it takes the right type of person though to be able to be home schooled.

You're so right

Only like maybe 3 or so of my IRL friends are my exact age. I think like 2 are younger than me by a year... the rest are older than me, because I've never really associated better with people my own age. I honestly don't think I've kept one friend whom I specifically met from when I was in public school.. I met all of my friends some other way.

So how come you're in homeschool now? Was it your choice?

[Arch0wl]

Well originally I had to do it like 3 years ago because these kids started a rumor about me that got me expelled from school, but then I was like "hey, this rocks" and decided to stay.

[Kilgamayan]

You got expelled because of an unsubstantiated rumor?

Your local school system is incredibly shitty. You're better off homeschooled.

[_Blaze]

But how can you be expelled without any evidence against you?

Homeschooling has its ups and downs. I knew a couple kids that were homeschooled, but that was because they were incredibly uber smart...anyway, the good thing about homeschooling is that you can mold your schedule around it, you can do homework whenever you want, go to the bathroom, get food, listen to music, whatever, there's nothing stopping you. However, the downside (and this is major), is essentially what everyone else has been saying. Friends...are...life. The social development you get in high school is probably more important than anything else you learn. The friends you make, yeah some of them will go away, but others you'll keep in touch with. I'd say that the social factor alone is enough for you to stay in school.

And people think I'm just making excuses up when I say that.

Hahaha...no.

Social life in highschool doesn't mean a whole lot. I can beat ALOT of money i'll keep in touch with VERY FEW of my friends once I hit university, once I get a job, ect. They're all gone about their buisness, doing their own shit, raising their own families. I'll make other friends, meet other people. Highschool is only 3 years of my life...I've got along way to go.

The only thing you really get out of highschool is shit and knowledge you need for the working world, which you can get at home.

Hahaha...no.

You're retarded...

[Omeganitros]

Or perhaps his reply was just retarded...

[Laharl]

The social interaction you learn is high school is total and complete tripe. Everyone in high school is fake. Everyone. You might make a few close friends, but you know what? Most likely, you'd make more close friends through another medium.

I hated every moment of high school. I've made more friends since I've been out of it than I ever did in my entire life. Yeah, quite a few have been over the internet, but that's not such a bad thing because no matter where we go, we'll still be able to talk like we do now.

So homeschool! It'd give us an excuse to talk more, anyway. Hahaha.

[Anticrombie0909]

I notice that the people who complain continually of social problems are the ones saying it doesn't matter. I'm not saying that the friends you make in high school will last forever, or that the friends you make are that important. What I'm saying is that you're learning how to interact with others, how to get along, how to work well, how to date, etc. You can't learn stuff like that from a class.

That sounds like what someone who was more or less rejected in high school would say. Plus, everyone in life is fake. It's better to learn how to deal with it in high school than to have to learn in your career.
