[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was homeschooled for awhile. Hated it with a passion. My parents certainly thought they knew what education would be best for me but they were wrong. I loved being in school. One of my sibs loved being homeschooled, the other was indifferent. [/quote].

Why did your parents homeschool?  What about school did you prefer?  Did they pull you of of school to homeschool you?[/quote]

We moved to a fairly remote area for a couple years and my parents decided to homeschool us rather than living nearer to the closest city and schools. There were schools in our area but they required long commutes so they decided given we were only going to be living there for a couple years they would homeschool us. What I missed was time away from my parents and family. I needed independence. I missed the hustle and bustle of a classroom, group work and having lots of friends all around. I missed the routines of school, the assemblies, recess etc... I was a very social kid and I hated being home all day with my family. We did activities but as a family and there were kids around but they were all in school during the day. Also because they were all together in school I was in the dark as to who they talked about, and what they were doing. I missed being on school sports teams and all the other teams and clubs. I had been in public school up until then, after homeschooling I went to private for a couple years then back to public for my last couple years of high school. I was homeschooled for grades 6 and 7.[/quote]
