Poll: Do you think you would have learned more if you homeschooled yourself?

<p>As compared to going through the traditional educational system that you gone through?</p>

<p>Yes: 1
No:</p>

<p>Absolutely not.</p>

<p>probably not</p>

<p>Noooooo...Like, myself?! Really!? That wouldn't happen...</p>

<p>book-wise, yes. socially, no.</p>

<p>I partially home schooled myself through 6th 7th and 8th grade because of illness. Didn't learn anything more than I would have in school. So nope. </p>

<p>Besides, not being around my peers everyday SUCKED.</p>

<p>Yes: 1
No: 4</p>

<p>Uhm I don' know what to count enderkin as... lol.</p>

<p>I'd say no.</p>

<p>That would depend on when I homeschooled myself</p>

<p>count me in, baby. in for the long haul.</p>

<p>Hey romani, didn't you say that you were able to bring yourself ahead of your classmates after homeschooling yourself when sick (in a thread many months ago)?</p>

<p>Actually, I probably should add "book-wise" and "social" options in there.
Bookwise yes:
bookwise no:
socially yes:
socially no:</p>

<p>As for me, bookwise, certainly AFTER 7th grade (if before, I wouldn't know since I didn't value academics before then - I wasted my 6th grade summer online - but I might have valued academics earlier if I homeschooled myself earlier), socially, hard to say (probably not if I homeschooled myself since 1st grade, probably yes after 6th grade)</p>

<p>but the categories are really weird too (like there were periods of school that I genuinely did learn from - most of the periods were useless). Also if I went to a school like a feeder school to TJ, then it might also be different.</p>

<p>Socially: NO!</p>

<p>Bookwise: No (myb yes in the humanities though, but definitely not in math/science fields)</p>

<p>Ugh I think about that all the time.</p>

<p>I regret so much not having been homeschooled from K to 5. I honestly didn't learn a thing in school during that time, and I would be a much more intelligent person now had I not gone through the tediously boring torture that is Elementary School.</p>

<p>So, yes, I WOULD HAVE LEARNED MORE.</p>

<p>Bookwise: I doubt it. I'm am not motivated to learn on my own at all.
Socially: No, and I doubt anyone would say yes to that.</p>

<p>no way, socially or book-wise</p>

<p>If I were homeschooled for some subjects that I am good at - science/math, then I'd be so much more advanced now. Especially during that pesky elementary/middle school period where we learn how to add every single year. </p>

<p>But socially, no, not by any stretch of the imagination.</p>

<p>Bookwise: No.
Socially: I would have said yes if you'd asked me a year ago. But this year? No.</p>

<p>"Hey romani, didn't you say that you were able to bring yourself ahead of your classmates after homeschooling yourself when sick (in a thread many months ago)?"</p>

<p>Mmm. I think you have it confused. I self-studied a few subjects that brought me ahead of my class but I wouldn't have done it any differently than if I was actually in school. Does that make sense?</p>

<p>Lmao, ok. I homeschooled myself from 6th-8th grade because I was in the hospital for over 100 school days per year. And, I still managed to put myself 3 years ahead in math and a year overall in school. It's too early in the morning. =]

<p>Inquiline, why does it matter?</p>

<p>My school put me three years ahead in math and a year overall, whether I was there or not. What I meant was that homeschooling myself didn't put me behind. Which is why I said "Didn't learn anything more than I would have in school." My school was a private school that accelerated you. </p>

<p>Did you REALLY search through my posts for that? lol.</p>

<p>Why does it say I'm offline?</p>
