Cool, a fellow homeschooler! I get to stay up to about 11-12 and get up around 8-9 most of the time. I love it!
As for the school vs howstuffworks, I cant decide because I learn so much from both, AGHHH! TOO...HARD...TOO...DECIDE...BRAINISSWELLINGUP! POW!*brains everywhere*
How Stuff Works.com -VS- Actually Paying Attention in School
Moderator: Moderators
Sounds exactly like me. The only difference is that, not to sound self-righteous or anything, but Im considered "intelectually gifted" (in math and science) and my school really sucks. I try to pay attention, and I get ok marks but Im really, really board. I hate it. Though this semister Im taking art, english, french, and religion. Arts ok, elglish is boring, french is ok because Im actually learning something new, and Im not even going to get into religion.SpongeBuell wrote:I'm one of the few saps that actually pay attention, as that's what you are tested on. Actually, I never study or take notes. I just pay attention in class, do my homework, and that's all I need. I usually get A's, with a B or 2 thrown in here and there. Liking the teacher helps to.
Luckily I get science, math, intergrated tech (all tech stuff), and geography. The first three I love, and the 4th I can deal with. At least I wont be that bored this semister... As for science and stuff, Im pretty much self taught. I love to read, and Im the kind of person that can read something once and then remember it. This is why im sorta like spongey, I just listen in class and I never take notes unless I have to. Anyway, this is why I think that stuff like howstuffworks.com is cool. I have it as one of my homepages, so you can probably see it in the desktop thread. Anyway, I just think school (at least in my area sucks).I know I pretty much finished my post there but just to point out how sucky me school is Ill tell you this. We had a country wide tests in math for grade nine, and not I single person in my school, taking gr9 math got a level 4 (80% or higher)! Im just waiting to see how good the math is next year.
Anyway, this is probably the longest post Ive ever writen, so Ill stopo there...Go howstuffworks.com!

Well I just read this and I got a bit more to say.Homeschooling rocks. I lived in england for 9 months 3 years ago and I absolutly loved it! Homeschooling is the best. My mother is actually a teacher so when I go back to england (this summer hopefully, my dad said theres a 90% chance we're going! *Yes!*) Ill actually have a teacher to teach me. My mother did say Id go to a proper high school for my twelth year, but only so Its easier to get into a good university.

my Mom is a certified teacher too, so that helps too. The thing I love about homeschooling is the computer time, my day:
5:30-7:00 get up
7:00-7:30ish breakfast
7:30ish-1:00is schoolwork (mostly I work on my own, which is cool too! )
1:00-1:30ish lunch
1:30is-4:30 computer
4:30-5:00 dinner
5:00-10:00 computer
And the really amazing thing is, for all this time on the computer, often left by myself too, I don't do porn amazing will power huh

I vote howstuffworks.com. I mean in school, you usually learn the same stuff over and over again. And how helpful is that? Exactly. On how stuff works you can learn what you want, when you want. And it's all simple to understand. But useful.
