<p>Starting last year, I began to really dislike school and wonder what the point is. Nothing I do there helps me achieve my dreams. I considered homeschooling at first, but I thought I shouldn't do it cause it would be too hard for my last year, I should just get stick it out one year more and get it over with. But, the more and more I research unschooling, the more I realize how much I could be learning in a year without having to deal with school.</p>
<p>But would it be more work than it's worth? Would I end up spend more time trying to organize everything than I do learning useless stuff in school?</p>
<p>How would it affect my ability to play in the NCAA?</p>
<p>And also, I am doing a concurrent enrollment program next year at a local college, but I think if I go out of the district I have to pay $3000 to do it...is it worth it to not do a concurrent enrollment program and just homeschool? </p>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>I’d say that rather than try to switch gears senior year, figure out homeschooling, explain to the colleges why you made this decision (hint: “I hate school” is not a good answer 
), all while applying to colleges would be more hassle than it’s worth. </p>
<p>Especially since you have the option to do concurrent enrollment instead - many homeschoolers just end up taking lots of college classes dual-enrolled anyway, and here it is all defined and ready and free for you!</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Wait, so are you saying I should or I shouldn’t? </p>
<p>(I do hate school, and there are plenty reasons why I do. I won’t say I hate school though, I’ll say why I decided to switch to homeschool.)</p>
<p>cokeeper,</p>
<p>Could you give us more info? Are you a recruited athlete? What are your grades, scores, etc? What schools are you looking at? What are your dreams in a nutshell?</p>
<p>Agree with GeekMom that college classes for your senior year might be a lot more tolerable to you than being in a high school all day. You might actually enjoy school, but I guess it would require you to stick it out this year (I’m assuming you’re a rising junior). Or, is there an option to pull out and homeschool for a year and then do dual-enrollment next year as a senior?</p>
<p>I suppose I should have done that at first. </p>
<p>My scores:</p>
<p>I got an 1800 on the SAT, 1210 on the Critical Reading and Math. My GPA is 3.75. On the ACT I got a 30, which was in the 95th percentile in the nation.</p>
<p>My dreams:</p>
<p>I am not a recruited athlete yet. My dreams in a nutshell are to become a pro soccer player (yes, that is…and I’m sticking to it) and to become a wildlife conservatonists/biologist. </p>
<p>Colleges I am considering: Colleges I am considering are ones that have NCAA or NAIA soccer and wildlife conservationist and aren’t too expensive, preferably ones in Colorado. One I may do that doesn’t have any divison soccer is CSU.</p>
<p>To answer your final questions sjbjdorlo, I am going to start my senior year next week. I know I would really enjoy the dual enrollment class at my town’s local college, but the only problem is that the school district is paying for it, it costs $3000, so I dont’ know if they would still pay if I homeschooled.</p>
<p>The only three real reasons why I wouldn’t is because I might not be able to do the dual enrollment, it might be more hassle than it’s worth, and because I am unsure how it would affect me to get into college/ncaa sports and to get scholarships.</p>
<p>That’s everything, I really appreciate your guys opinion! Please respond! :D</p>
<p>I’ve been homeschooled my entire life. It’s worked great for me, but I’ve never seen it work well for someone who started that late. It does make college admissions a pain, so I wouldn’t suggest switching senior year. Best of luck!</p>
