Once when I was younger I forgot what questions I had in math so my dad forced me to do the whole page of about 25 questions and then the next day it turned out that I only had to do question 1
Nice. See, if I were a teacher and this happened to one of my students, I would either give them extra credit or exempt them from the rest of the homework for a few days.
I homeschool, and all my classes are on the computer. The first year my family homeschooled, I didn't realize they had dates to get the work done, so when a lesson popped up, I did it. Turns out on the first day I had done three weeks of science and four days of the rest of my classes, all in about seven hours.
It just seems like Easy Mode. They don't seem to expect much from you. Also, it robs you of valuable personal growth associated with navigating a sea of fuckwits every day.
Homeschooling isn't easier than going to 'real school'. My mom was a school teacher for several years, and my dad was too. They expect a lot from me, so I don't get off easy. And as for being robbed of 'valuable personal growth', I went to school for several years, and was bullied relentlessly by a sea of fuckwits. The school curriculum I do now is a lot harder than the one I used to do, and because I was homeschooled, I'm actual a year above my grade level. I'm supposed to be in ninth, but I do a tenth grade curriculum. My apologies if I sound rude, but it pisses me off when people think homeschoolers don't do real school, or get off easy. Sure, some do, but not all of us.
But, you see, you THINK you're at a 10th grade level, because homeschooled 10th grade is regular 9th grade (or sometimes 8th).
I really don't intend to be a dick about this, because when my family moved to the shithole that is Stockton, CA, I actually considered homeschooling. Let's face facts, though. The average household is not equipped to teach high school biology or beyond. Oh, and lest we forget, most of our parents aren't mathematicians. I went as far as pre-cal in high school, which was a b!tch, because it didn't count in my JC, and I had to take it again.
That being the case, I can only wonder what homeschooling is preparing kids for these days.
Btw, this isn't an attack on you. It's a general worry of mine, since especially around where I live, homeschooling is fairly common.
Once my 7th grade science teacher told my class that he'd make his whole entire class talk to their parents about puberty and like the physical effects it had. He meant it as a joke but I wasn't listening very well and I thought it was a real homework so I ended up doing it ;___;
