Don't homeschoolers sit around and play Minecraft all day?]" -Public Schoolers I have been guilty of procrastination in many classes, but my grades usually turn out fine. I like to consider myself a genius. A 35 on the English portion of the ACT does that to a person. DANG that’s impressive. My highest ACT section was a 34 on Sci, then 31 on English 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has INDIA engraved on it, and the metal sheath isn't quite the same shape as the sword (making it difficult to sheath and unsheath), but it's pretty cool anyway. I was in Jordan a few years ago, and walked into a shop where a man made knives, swords, etc., for the Jordanian military. I didn't realize I needed a sword, mind you, until I walked into his shop, and suddenly realized that I NEEDED a sword. So I'm looking at the different kinds he has on display, and asked about the thicker-backed single-edged one in the back. "Oh, no, mister, you don't want that sword." "Why not?" "Mister, that sword is for the (mime's cutting off a hand)... it is... it is for the executions". "OH. Now I DEFINITELY want that one." He made me one by hand - took him a couple of weeks - it has my family named etched in Arabic in acid along the blade. Also got a Hashemite Dagger for my wife and each of my kids' with their names on them in Arabic too. Thing hangs above my mantleplace :). For purposes of the thread - I was public schooled while growing up, and, hated all of it except for a couple of extracurriculars. The wife was homeschooled until high school, and we've been homeschooling our kids for about 8 years, with Classical Conversations.

I've been homeschooled nearly my entire life, but I'm currently going to a public school. It's nasty, but I have to gain social skills as some point, right? I mean, there are other reasons too, but that's a big one. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm the opposite; my parents are still thinking about homeschooling me next year (I'll be in grade 11). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It really depends on how you do it, but homeschooling can be an amazing thing if you get a curriculum you like and actually get your stuff done. Why are they considering this? I'm curious, if you feel like sharing. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're still thinking about whether my younger siblings and I should be homeschooled or not. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
