I wish I had been, but my parents never would have had time. I can guarantee when I eventually adopt some kid(s) they will be homeschooled though, don't wanna put them through the torture I went through.
I'm glad I wasn't. Going to an actual school(s) was great, lots of fun times had, lots of friends met. All the homeschooled people I have met have problems fitting in :S

I was never homeschooled, to this day I still don't really fit in, not that I care.

"Actual school"
What does that mean? Public schooling, private schooling? Public schooling is a pretty recent experiment in education, albeit failed.
I kind of wish I was, one of my favorite authors was homeschooled. He got a college degree when he was 15. He didn't even need it though, with all the money he made off Eragon and it's two sequels...
I started online school second half of my 10th grade year, its awesome :biggrin.gif:
No dealing with jackasses, turning in work whenever you damn well please, and its faster than regular school.
I have some neighbors who home school their kids.
Very polite and nice kids...but....very awkward socially.
Awkward in that kind of creepy children of the corn way.
The way they act you have to wonder if they're quietly plotting murder.

That might be the normal healthy way children are supposed to act, given the changes since the late 19th century.

I was meaning public schooling, and I don't see how it failed :S

It's true. Our school systems suck.
Although there's something to be said for having that socialization.
But no. In all seriousness....a lot of people in this country look down on intelligence.
If you're intelligent, there's a strong possibility someone thinks you're a douche....simply for being intelligent.
I now know why you are anarchist! You had a rough time in school, I am having a rough time in school too...But that isn't the schools fault, its all the other students.
I was homeschooled until I cheated on too many Math assignments. Got sent back to private school in 5th grade.
: I forgot to mention that my cheating didn't stop there... Cheating I found is the only way to compete in life when everyone else is cheating on tests and homework so I just went with the flow. I got caught a few times cheating in private school and ended up making some very powerful enemies of my teachers. I cheated my way through highschool algebra and calculus.
Not to toot my own horn or whatever, but I consider myself of above-average intelligence. Most everything I'm being "taught" at the moment I already know (Basic Physics, more specifically the structure of atoms under the atomic theory; HOW 2 RITE in English; The American Revolution, but slanted so that 'MURCA IS BEST in History (although my history teacher is awesome and points out the propoganda); ...Geometry in Geometry), yet from a look at my grades you'd think I'm a mental deficient whose favorite pastime was pissing in his own mouth.
I'll cite an example I commonly cite on this subject: I have a friend, really my best friend IRL. We'll call him Jedediah for now. He used to be... quite a bit below average intellectually, considering school as "A huge ****ing waste of time". He had many behavioral disorders, tended to be very violent, and was sexist as hell.
His parents then pulled him out of public school.
He has been in public school for around half a year now. He is now an eloquent speaker (IRL, online he talks like a babbling moron because he's still a "newfag" by internet standards), he understands things you'd expect an individual of his age to understand, and he's a hell of a lot more mellow. He even managed to land himself a girlfriend, who turned out to be a total ***** so he dumped her.
But alas, my parents are both working members of society, and we're a lower-middle class income household, so I'm forced to suffer in a system that doesn't want me.
Who here is homeschooled?
I am, mostly because I can't stand most people.
The question is, who here is homeschooled.
And I am not.

LMAO have you seen average American test scores?
I was the same way, then I realized that:
There are 6 billion people, and you need experience in interactions.
I went to public school, by the way.
