I went to speak with the school psychiatrist today--she is not my guidance counselor, but she was very close with my brother and sister when they were in high school, so I always pay her a visit..
I asked her to pull up all of my grades for this past marking period and the scores on the tests from last week.. I passed all of my tests except for Math..BUT I failed Global for the second time, English for the first time and Math for the first time, and I passed Science with a 68 which is 3 points over the failing grade..
I am in the same Math (Integrated Algebra) as I was in last school year because I had failed sooo badly..
Well, I don't have much of a social life in school, I do have friends, but I dont really see them and they are all graduating this year..
And any other friends I have are just people in my classes in my grade, but they distract me TERRIBLY from doing what I am supposed to do.. and even when I am not in class with friends--I am distracted because I have severe ADD and I have a really hard time learning new things..
Our plan is to get me into a Distinct class which is amath class where they allow you to grow on what you already know, rather than fill you with more information that is almost impossible for you to grasp on to.. So that is our plan for next year..
But then I think--this is my schedule:
Science
Free
Free
Free
Independent Spanish(im fluent so I take the class alone, no teacher)
Lunch
Global
Math
English
well that is a very empty schedule and it will be worse next year because I wont be taking Spanish and there are no electives that I havent already taken..So I will have only 4 classes in the day and 5 Free classes..and I will have to be in school the whole time-I cannot leave..
So now to my main point..
Why will I go to school where I have NO Social Life that I care about, I am NOT learning, I am ALWAYS distracted, I have NO classes, NO electives I can take..NOTHING....I have decided that I would like to be Homeschooled..
I know there is a few people on here that home school their kids or have in the past, and I want to know everyones opinions...
It is $840 a year with the program I will show my mom..My mother wont be homeschooling me, most likely my aunt or my 21 year old cousin will be doing it because they dont work...
I know there are alot of kids that would do anything to get out of school and be home schooled because they think that it will give free time.--but thats not at all why I am doing it.. I am doing it because with the rate I am going at, I will be dropping out end of this school year in June, and thats not the move I want to make, but I dont want to be in school because I just dont learn.. I dont want to end up working at a lowlife, cheap pay job--I want a future, and I want to be smart and happy...And right now I feel like a loser..
I think that being home schooled will allow me to get the attention I need and allow me to be more focused and to learn more..
At this point, I am high risk for not being able to graduate on time..I am high risk for dropping out(at 17 you dont need parental consent/at 16 your parent must sign a sheet allowing you to drop out)
I need help..I dont care about having the free time... I come home everyday after school and stay home on the weekends...At 2:25 I turn my phone off and it stays off until the next morning before school.. I also turn it off every weekend..I do this because I dont really like to hang out outside of school with alot of the people in my school.. Most of them are up to no good and I dont want to associate myself with them and get into trouble.. It may sound stupid, but its how I keep myself in line....
SO I need everyones opinions on the subject...
Was home schooling hard?
Was it fun?
Did it take alot of time?
Was it a good idea?
If you could do it all over, would you have put your child into a public or private school, or would you have stuck with home schooling??
Any other information would be great!!!!!
f anyone asks--I dont take the medication for the ADD because the only prescription I got was for ridolin, and I dont believe in that--I have other methods of trying to focus..the ridolin did NOTHING for me..
PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!!
And none of this would start until next school year in September...
