status and freedom at home and school?

Posted on January 29th, 2010 by admin


What about it?!?

To be honest, I don’t really understand what it is you’re trying to ask!

> My status at home: I’m the fourth of nine kids; the second oldest of five girls.

> Freedom at home: Well, our backyard covers 1,890,000 acres; I reckon that constitutes a fair bit of freedom for any kid, *grin*

> Status at school? I don’t go to school.

> Freedom at school? I don’t go to school.

Neither I nor any of my siblings ‘do’ school; that’s pretty much what ‘home schooling’ (the title of this board) means!

    well like everyone else said… what exactually do you mean by that?
    i was homeschooled, am now at school (just to clarify – home is better than school) i’ll give you a comparison between the two cause i know both sides of the picture…

    Status;
    at school – one insignificant girl among 500+ others

    at home – a valued member of the family, second eldest of 7 children, teacher, mentor, friend.

    Freedom;
    at school – none at all. everything is planned, there is no flexibility. this includes; subjects, learning, eating, living, studying, talking, playing, practicing etc… the list is endless.

    at home – pretty much everything (within reason)
    i could study what i wanted
    learn how i wanted
    have a job when i wanted
    practice when i wanted (and as much as i needed)
    eat whenever i wanted!!!
    if there was a late night – no hurry to get up the next morning
    catch up with other home schooled friends
    attend tafe or adult education classes during the day
    have music lessons during the day
    freedom from peer presure
    no extra homework

    hmmm i think you get the picture…

    hope that answers your question
