Which on is better homeschool or school

1) I take online and in person classes, so I don't always rely on my parents biases, only my dad works.
2) in in-person classes, you are already getting confronted with the real world, but (this is only my opinion) most homeschoolers are really nice, and I made a lot of friends
3)drugs, you don't really get in contact with them as a homeschooler, but I would say that going to a public school does give you a larger chance of maybe getting addicted or something
4) I agree with you on this one

Now I feel lucky to be homeschooled my entire life

this is biased against amputees

I would say it's not common. But I'll assume one is amputated of one arm, so it still is 60 armpits because the armpit is not part of the amputed arm.

That's good, so you find a teacher for hire or what? I don't really get that cause that doesn't seem like homeschooling to me unless the teacher is invited to your house :P

I'm skeptical about the effectiveness of internet classes for a lot of people ... I know some people excel at them - but personally I very much dislike them vs a focused in person environment

Ah but its not a pit unless there's an arm attached, it's more like an arm plain

Yeah, good point. It should be called an arm plain for an amputated arm and an armpit for an non-amputated arm. But my metaphor still stands because the arm plain still stinks. If you lift it 15 degrees and have a missfortuned nose smell it, the nose's owner would faint instantly.

could be - bacteria tend to mostly thrive in warm moist environments - without the pit it might not breed so much!

There are many definitions of homeschool - some of them are only partially homeschool. So it really just depends on the person and how well someone can self-learn (even with a parent teaching, you still have to learn yourself quite a bit!)

ok first only ppl who actually homeschool can talk everyone else just stay out of it i homeschool so i know what its like
