| brooke - I have a similar range of education; public, then about six months homeschool (we'd just moved) before going to public again, then private, then a mix of homeschool and college classes for high school with JROTC from the local high school thrown in |

| Not saying they are bad, we just got really strict and different rules, homeschooling is extremely rare simply |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| fang - yeah unschooling is basically the parents saying "we're not going to do a formal curricula we're just going to let them learn through -sparkles- experiences" -grimace- |

| diva - I know so parents who are far better teachers (my dad - he did substituting also at one point) than the accredited credentialed teachers...... |
| Sweet Valley |

| Wow for my state there’s no mandatory curriculum or subjects, no teachers or yearly tests or anything apparently. Kind of wild to let it be so open. |
| CarterStables |
| I call it homeschooling, but it was more of a long distance school, however, I did another program which didn't work as well for me. But I mostly taught myself, just mailed in the tests to the school lol |

| honestly it pretty much depends on the work the parents put into it. I can't tell you how many hours mine spent tracking education and finding groups for us to take courses from. we had a math textbook and I always excelled at writing so that was never an issue, but for science, stuff like public speaking/debate, etc, it was better to have others teach. also in my state I think there might be a degree requirement? like yes if you graduated high school that's considered sufficient but my parents are both degreed |

| I think it works very differently over there, for us to get homeschooling you need to apply in school 1st, prove why you need it, get an approval. You get assigned a class teacher that gives you curriculum etc on like weekly basis, once a week you come to school on arranged time to hand in all homework and assignments to be checked. WHAT???? I have been homeschooled forever. Never been inside a school in my life. We live in PA. Literally, I started 1st grade at 4. And I am now 14 and going on 10th grade. My birthday was saturday. We usually end in April -May and start July - August. I will end near the very end of April/ early May |

| Yea no, parents aren't qualified at all to teach unless they got teaching degree |
| CarterStables |
| I went to a public school for a couple years. I was in a private school from second to fifth grade. Which was nice because I literally knew everyone at the school because it was so small, switching to public school was really rough because I was always getting picked on, then finally did homeschooling for highscool and had pretty nice grades in comparison to when I was in public school. It also allowed me to be able to ride horses on an almost daily basis, which was great. And I got to spend so much time with my heart horse before he passed, which I wouldn't have been able to otherwise. |

| there's a reason for the distinction between homeschooling and unschooling |
| The Old Gods |
| Most homeschooling is done by parents. There's some distance learning, but it wasn't that common when I was in school. |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| over here it depends on the state. for mine you also have to apply (aka inform the state), have a curricula, keep track, and take a standardized test every 2 years, maybe 1 if you struggled on the last one I think? some states though... -grimaces- |
| Sweet Valley |
| I usually start with the things I hate and then do the things I like. then i know I have something FUN to look forward to. Like I start with math and english, then do history, science and music. I like the last three things. Geometry is hatred |

| However, I did put a lot of things off and ended up having to rush through some classes before it was all said and done. Granted the last classes I finished were my least favorite, so those were always harder to push through lol. Plus I never really loved school, certain things about it sure, but overall, not really. |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| yeah homeschooling can be a lot more flexible and versatile, or even small private/semi-private tutoring and classes. never forget mass education was modeled after prisons and factories folks... |
