What are the pros and cons of being homeschooled? What do you like best? Why? What do you like least? Why?
I love homeschooling! I have been homeschooled all my life (I am now in the 10th grade) and I think it is great.
Some of my favorite things about homeschooling are that I get to sleep in, and I can be at home with my family and animals all day. I get to choose a lot of things, and can set my own pace. If I'm having trouble in a certain area, I can slow down and take more time on it until I get it. On the other hand, if something is really easy for me, I can skip lessons or do double lessons to get ahead if I want. I get to choose when I do each subject each day, and, to some extent, which subjects I do! I love reading and writing, so I do more of that. I have a literature program, a Total Language Plus program (which combines literature and writing) and I have now found this Homeschool Kids Write program and Mrs. Marlow's Reach for the Stars Writing Workshop and really enjoy both. I am also interested in learning Spanish, and have found a lot of websites and CDroms to help me with that. I get to be home with my mom and three sisters, and I like that... most of the time! I have a nice little desk in my bedroom where I do my schoolwork each day, and I like that too. I'm glad I don't have to go to public school and deal with all the kids there.
There are a few bad things about homeschooling, such as not spending as much time with friends as public schoolers do. Also, spending a lot of time with your siblings can sometimes cause more arguments. But most of the time homeschooling is fun, and I love it.
