Just curious
I've met a lot of homeschooled students lately, but have not had a chance to ask them.
Thanks
Chris

If your parents decide not to teach you during the summer, then yes, you do get a summer break
-
Anyways, I don't think you get a summer break (I know this because I've been reading into homeschooling a lot)... But it's nice because you won't have to wake up at the butt crack of dawn to get ready for school... You can wake up at noon, and eat breakfast while you do your History...
And then you can work at your own pace... You get fed up with something? It's cool, slow down. You get something real quick like a snap? It's cool, advance... You don't have to worry about the rest of the "class" and wether or not they understand it too or not...
Anyways.... Homeschooling is a better route to take... IMO...
Why do you ask?

It sounds like a pretty easy day, but I don't think I could have handled having my mom teach me. I don't think either one of us would have had the patience for that. :roll:
Don't get me wrong though, she turned out pretty well. lol :D
I 've just met a lot of students lately and, with summer coming up, the question just popped into my head and hasn't left. So, I got the :idea: to ask.
Thanks,
Chris

My mom isn't going to help/teach me... I honestly don't want her to. I can't get along with her for the life of me....
So anyways, I will have my sister who graduates college in a few months help me out, plus I know a teacher who is close friends with me...
:)
I have connections...
-
Emily O'Neal :wink:
Mallory i gotta talk to you mom
-
Good to have connections. :lol:
I've only talked to one homeschooled person who is getting a summer break. All the others (seven or eight) will be doing some studying this summer. :|

Mallory i gotta talk to you mom
About??
-
about she needs to lighten up with you :x
seriously, at least your windows arent barred, i hope
-
lol, Pete, my windows are too small for bars, plus I don't plan on going out the attic windows anyways because they are the ATTIC windows, need I say more? lol... I'd rather just use the front door, haha.
-
haah okay, well thats good then....i worry about you, i just dont wanna see you be home celled forever, i know you need to go out and do normal teenage girl things...not that you like all teenage girl things, but theres stuff you would like to do im sure
-
Don't even talk to her... Especially about me. Good lord, I can only imagine that you in MA telling her how she, who lives with me in OH, needs to lighten up...
I can already see it... UGLY. It's always ugly. Talking only makes it worse for me. I don't talk anymore. Talking's stupid.
-
lol...i wouldnt tell her i know how she is, i do know a bit of how she is and i think she is really nice, but i know you, and i think you need to be more capable of doing things...if i talked to her and it made it worse id be drivin out there :P
-
not that you like all teenage girl things, but theres stuff you would like to do im sure
yeah... BREATHE for one thing...
Always down my back, always complaining. Do this, say that, listen to this, speak like this, BLINK when I TELL you to blink gosh darn it...
Every day's the same. They are repeating themselves... I feel like I live in a real life Ground-Hog's Day movie.
-
i know hun *hugs you* :(
well im here and i care about you, if they need to be told i promise i have the guts to do it, and i know your mom, she wont just shun me, she knows im a good person and is the type to listen and discuss things anyways, problem is she needs to start doing it with you
-
if i talked to her and it made it worse id be drivin out there :P
In that case: Fill up on the gas...
-
seriously, is it that bad?
i will go out there...im so sicka crap, you need to live
-
i know hun *hugs you* :(
problem is she needs to start doing it with you
Yeah well, they're living in denial. It never will change. They're too stubborn. They are like stone mules. They will not budge because "it's their house, I live under their roof, they make the rules, I'm the child, I must abide because what they say goes".
-
have the lil ground-hog drive the truck, that would be fun!
I mean, yea, too bad for ya mal. Still like last year are they?
-
Yeah seriously...
Its like a scar. My parents are scars... They had a bad experience and now they have gotten "tough" and they just want it to be like that... Tough and healed. They don't want to work the scar loose. They don't want to make it softer. They just want it a scar. They are scars...
You should get a load of an email I found...
My mom thinks I go to therapy to get taught a lesson. And she thinks that I'm being pressured to love Ben. She feels that if they keep me away from what I love I will just stop loving. She even said she hopes "that with the passage of time, I will get wiser". She said she is keeping me busy with "other things".
Shows what she knows. You don't love and forget. You don't hate and forget either...
-
whatever, im gonna figure out how to stop them from ruining your life...if you dont want me to try, i wont , but im pissed off with ya

No offense to anyone, but . . .
I woud shoot myself if I was homeschooled. One, I wouldn't have any friends. The friends of mine who go to school with me, I wouldn't know, and I wouldn't know anyone from other schools because I play for the CSAA (Catholic School Athletic Association) and that's how I meet other people, (softball, basketball, and such). As for OTHER people, I know them from mixers, and I would't be going to mixers if, yeah. Get the point?
ALSO, I'd have no skills for the future. I'd always be late for work, I would never be able to finish my work on time, Etc.
The End
Love,
Cece

PETE???
Why are you mad at me???
-
Thank you, Mallory. :)
I'm running out of orange juice!! Hurry, to Kroger!!
-
AWWW no mallory i meant im pissed off with you as in im pissed off at your parent along with you...sorry hun, misunderstanding
-
oooh... well nice to know your not mad AT me... sheesh, what a relief!
Well yeah, I know you'd probably say a lot of stuff to them that they need to hear, but like always, it wouldn't make a difference. They'd listen but they wouldn't hear it. It's always been like this, and it always will be.
My life is ruined... But only for 317 more days... I think that's today's number.
But just to let you know, my parents hate 1-) to be told they're wrong and 2-) to be told how they should be doing things.
-
well Mal, no one likes to be told they are wrong or how to do things right, everyone wants to figure it out themselves, irregardless i still have the urge to tell them..... :|

Oh my goodness, this sounds so familiar. My parents are like that...and I'm 21. (will be 22 this July)
Arrrrggg. We need to start a support group for children of parents who act unreasonably. I don't understand why they can't trust me to make good decisions. I have common sense for goodness sake. And now that I'm asserting myself and showing that I can control my own life, they're panicking and trying to lay down more rules - like a midnight curfew for instance. Oh, and my mother just stole my cell phone this weekend. What's that about??? She says I "don't deserve it". Wha??? So now when I'm out of the house, she can't reach me? What if the car breaks down in an isolated neighborhood with woods and serial killers? Then what? My parents are so irrational it makes me want to yell. (I can't yell though because I'm sick with a sore throat.) :P

mine get mad if i forget my cell phone...i get the "why do you think I bought it for..." 8O
-
Joey!! I know exactly what you mean with the whole cell phone thing.
Also, I get yelled at by adults, no matter what happens. Even if it's not my fault. I remember, I was yelled at by my Mom when we foud out my cousin had a brain tumor. I guess she was just stressed, I don't know. Things like that happen a lot. And, I'm not allowed to do some things because my brother does stupid shit, my parents become parnoid, and that's how the story goes. I hate it.

If only my parents were like your Joe...
Freshlettuce--I don't know why you put up with it... why don't you just move out? Or get a room mate and live somewhere else where you don't have to put up with them?
Our parents sound exactly the same... You get your cell phone taken away, ... I get my bedroom door taken away. (Yes, I said my bedroom door.)

ACTUALLY I don't have a bedroom door at the moment . . .well that's only because it rained on memorial day weekend, so my dad decided it was a perfect time to finish the hardwoods in the hall outside my room. Then he kinda got on a roll and took down all the molding and doors and decided to replace them. But yeah, no bedroom door sucks.
-
All I had was a frame for a closet in my room for like, 3 months. It was awful! I had everything nice and neat, (because that's how my room always is. Weird, I know), and then have these ugly-ass 2x4s nailed to my walls, ceiling, etc. :\

I have to put up with it because they pay for college. :cry: (Did I mention that I have to commute to school to save them money? Arrrg.)

:!: :!: :!: :!: :!:
Woah, so they are punishing you by, um, forbidding you your privacy? What do you do now when you need to be alone? Hide out in the bathroom or in the closet? Hmmm. That's a tough situation to be in.
-
my mom always threatens to take away my door... but she never really has, even tho when she's mad at me she forces me to leave it open...
my mom has taken away (most of which i have gotten back) my phone, my cell phone, my computer.. etc... and i'm not allowed to go to concerts but she'll let me stay out till like 3am every weekend and doesnt really care where i go.
she wanted to take away my WB internship this summer... but i was like "it'll help for college and my career" so she didnt go there.
