The Homeschooler Thread

[BlackMolly99]

Here is my homeschooling:
PE = trampoline, biking, running ( I do races in the spring, summer, fall) rollerblading skating climbing trees ect.
science = gardening and actually learning how the plants grow, playing in our woods/valley/creek, taking care of a variety of animals
business= selling houseplants I have propagated on kijiji
extracurriculars LOL=reading,baking, cooking,ect.

Of course I still have to do the bookwork for science ect.
I find a learn much more actually doing something instead of just reading and writing about it though.

That's pretty organized!

 

[BlackMolly99]

LOL, it's really not organized.
I do different things on different days.
Not having a firm schedule is really nice

I wish lol. All we did was warm up and run miles . What’s an iron man competition or relays? We never did those.

 

[flyinGourami]

Lol public school relays are just- We had to do wheelbarrow and it was so awkward lol. For science we are currently testing if a graham cracker will break when you bend it and if a marshmallow will tear apart when you pull it

Just thought of another one.

“You might be a homeschooler if... you just stayed up till 9:30 pm watching blimey cow, and staying up to 9:30 on your iPod is not okay.”

Yet staying up to 10:30 on Fishlore IS in fact, scientifically proven to be OK.

Yes. But this does not apply to tiktok unless you wanna lose a bunch of brain cells(srry).

Pls not TikTok.

EDIT: Actually I'm not sure if you're saying it's bad or good lol.

Lets just say I'de rather pee in the swimming pool than become a "tik-toker".

 

[GlacialMold]

Tiktok is weird.

 

[Hannah1064]

So we are up to 5 homeschoolers, I think. Including myself, LittleBlueGuppy, Canaculus the first (That's his new title), Aquanerd, and William-with-a-bunch-of-numbers.

You can count another! I've been home schooled since I started. I've never even been inside a public school XD

 

[GlacialMold]

Same.

You might be a homeschooled if: View attachment 684383View attachment 684384View attachment 684385View attachment 684386View attachment 684387
P.S. I was also gonna throw in there the you might be a homeschooled if making cupcakes or cutting apples was a fraction lesson.

Most of these are literally me

 

[GlacialMold]

Ive never seen blimey cow TBH.

I've never homeschooled but I've graded my own test lol.

2020 tiktok sucks . People actually made funny or cool videos in 2019 but now it’s just people trying to prove their better than others . It became so toxic sadly.

I've never homeschooled but I've graded my own test lol.

Same lol.

Also I’ve got a question for homeschoolers since we’re sort of all homeschooled lol. Do you have any tips on keeping up with all your work? I know it’s probably different but I’m struggling with doing my work on time . Any tips?

Well, for me having a planner and recording what things are due when really helps. Also, sometimes just sitting down and writing everything out that I need to do first or that's due soon helps prioritize stuff. Hope that helps

Oh yeah, I forgot to do that thing that I should have done today... *Uncomfortable Chuckling*

 

[Gel0city]

I have never watched Blimey Cow before. But it sounds interesting.

Now that I think about I’m probably more on fish lore than on YouTube too

That does help! I used to write down all assignments I had to do for the week on my phone. I don’t know why I stopped doing that though. I’ll definitely start writing them down again

I really have to get my work organized because I might be missing a whole month of assignments luckily my teachers aren’t strict about due date because of covid-19 so I think I’ll survive lol

Blimey Cow is a youtube channel started by a bunch of homeschoolers, that make goofy videos about homeschooling.

I love Blimey Cow. The latest Messyges is my new favorite lol...Watch it or we'll send Aunt Josie after you. ;p

Yay! Welcome! Are you done with school or almost or do you do school through summer?

 

[NBettas83]

I finally finished school! I'm happy but mostly sad at the same time.

Lucky!! I have 3 more weeks left and 5 chapters of math I didn’t do
Please send help lol

I took 5 months off last year and I'm graduating halfway through next year so am working through the summer

 

[MaximumRide14]

I finished too! Except now I'm mostly happy and less sad, which is quite the opposite when there's school

Rip math is my least favorite and worst class, I can say that I definitely don't miss it. Let me know if you need help or something, but I can't guarantee I can help lol

 

[flyinGourami]

I am not a homeschooler. And my parents have good reasons to keep it that way. To be quite honest if they had to deal with me more than they do now, I think they'de go crazy. Lol.

Say that to my parents! I have 4 little brothers....its insane. And last summer we had 8 kids in the house, my mom had major surgery AND we were quarantined for 2 1/2 months. I've been quarantined twice!

Oh, and 3 of those kids didnt speak english and had emotional problems because they are orphans living in the Ukrainian war zone...

Ty! I hate math sooo much lol. I’m in pre calculus rn and I honestly don’t know why I took it. I could have stopped at trigonometry and then went on to intro to statistics. I also don’t actually have to do any of the work, but I know that my dad will ask to see it before my final .

Lol precalc was really when I started hating math, I'm going into statistics next year. Good luck on your final!

 

[JuiceBox52]

I hate all math ...hard math and easy math...ALL math

 

[NBettas83]

For me, whether I like it or not depends on the teacher and teaching style. If it is something monotonous like a textbook and math packets, I hate math, if it is free-form I feel like that helps me learn better, as I learn at my own pace and can dig deeper.

 

[butterflybetta]

Should we bring this thread back, now that school started again? hilarious
I currently still have online school. I have no idea when or if we will go back to school normally

 

[Utar]

I was never home schooled, but at my age at 67 things have changed a lot since I was going to public schools, especially with this virus.

 

[MaximumRide14]

I still have online school too, and since our school is giving us the option to stay online or go in-school (they still haven't decided when they'll give us that option), I plan on staying online the whole year.

 

[iEristyl3]

I’ve been homeschooled my entire life—will be graduating soon. I’m ready for college maybe a change of pace. It has its perks but as an extrovert it KILLS me.

Yeah, I’m a huge introvert, so I like being home schooled. School time is my re-charge time.

 

[iEristyl3]

I’m definitely all for either choice—it’s nice because for certain people homeschooling is perfect. I just personally work more effectively and less stressfully when I get to integrate some social time in.

Yep, everyone’s deferent, that’s why we have the freedom of choice.

 

[NBettas83]

Well this thread has already been revived so...

Yeah online school isn't going that well for me, to much z u m

 

[butterflybetta]

I think I’m an ambivert, so I really wish we had the option to choose either online school, or “go-to” school. I’m glad some days I don’t have to go anywhere, but other days I wish I was physically there lol.

I also have 2 science classes this year. Anatomy and physiology (which so far I really like) and AP Biology. I think I would like AP Biology more if it was with another teacher. My current teacher doesn’t really... teach... :/


Does anyone here actually get to go to “go-to” school? How is it like?
I saw some schools put plastic dividers between everyone.

I'm taking anatomy and physiology this year too! I took AP Bio last year though. Does your school plan on keeping everyone online until everyone can go back at the same time?

I have no idea lol. So far everything is online.

I’m in a break room right now
They’re always so awkward :/

 

[NevermindIgnoreMe]

Yes, the thread has been revived! I had co-op today, and had a debate, taught the teacher some Latin (I'm a fourth year Latin student and she is a second year mom so we both teach), and discussed Paradise Lost, among other things. Also, I incorporated goldfish into the discussion during biology bc, well, how could I not when we're reviewing the nitrogen cycle??

Also, this year while the older kids do a writing class me and my brother are in charge of the babysitting program for the younger siblings. It's going pretty well so far, our schedule works well and the kids are all pretty good.

To the homeschoolers in the thread, what is your favorite thing you wouldn't have been able to learn/experience without being homeschooled?

For public/other schooled ppl, what is your favorite thing about public school?
