Well, school is a love/hate kinda thing. I hate being there and all the school work, but i love being around other people and being able to drive my monte there everyday!
I hear that alot so im trying to enjoy every second of it through the good and bad.

Sometimes i wonder how life would be homeschooled

Hi `Jon, I think it all depends on who is teaching ?
I was lucky to have 5 other's (The BeachBums) in home-school with me.
We were taught by my grandfather & his senior citizen friends. Some were prior teachers, and others had degree's from World Experiences.
They were strict, but we loved them.....The older I get, the more I love them for all their help & the love they showed...

We lived on a barrier island and it was to far 2 go to the mainland for school.....Our lunch breaks were spent on the beach & it was a great playground.....

You miss a lot not going to public or private schools I think: like sports & events etc....We just created our own....

Glad 2 read that you are wise enough 2 extract the most from your high school experience...Good Luck...I must fade `out & rest...
Got 2 work later, but I wish I was back in school instead : )
Peace/Out

Afternoon everyone!

It's a freezing cold day here in the Detroit area. Looking at a really, really cold Monte in my driveway. Block heater sounds like a good idea right now. The sun is shining, but it's not helping much. It's only -5,000 degrees instead of -6,000.

Okay, maybe it's not that bad. :p

Thats cool that you had a group(TheBeachBums) to hang with on your island(which is also cool in my opinion) a Group of close friends of mine had a name for ourselfs in Middle school.(Sugar Rush Mafia/SRM) Aww the good old days lol.

You're right Space, you do miss out on some good things with home-school. But you also miss out on some not-so-nice things too. For example: bullying, gangs, "clicks", metal detectors at the doors, security guards walking around your school, getting up early to have to walk or take a bus to school everyday no matter what the weather is like, pressure to fit in, and so on.

I'm not saying I experienced all of that. But that's part of reality today in some schools Space dude. But hopefully this is all something that will become a thing of the past. Someday schools will be a safe place to learn again.

Sorry for taking this in a negative direction. Just showing that not everything you missed was good.
