[QUOTE="dowmace, post: 2085435, member: 17572"] A few people on the forum may know this but after my sophomore year of high school I left public school and home schooled myself. I went from a straight D student barely squeaking by having to take night classes to make sure that I was going to have all my credits to graduate. To getting 90%+ on all of my weekly tests at the testing center. I used a christian school curriculum but taught myself out of the books and in the mornings I went to central vo-tech for industrial electronics getting credits for my electrical engineering degree. Home schooling saved my life, flat out no exceptions I would have been a drug addict running from my problems if I stayed in public school, I had maybe 1 or 2 friends that I spoke to on a daily basis but thats it. After leaving public school I met other home school kids at tech and had a group of friends that I couldn't hardly keep up with what was going on with everyone, my social skills grew exponentially because of it. Had I not enrolled in vo-tech I'd probably still be a social recluse that didn't do well speaking in groups but that would have been better than destroying myself because of the depression high school was causing. The long and short of it is that some of our public school systems are designed to run the cattle through and start on the next batch, I don't think I learned anything in public school after 5th grade. All of my knowledge was from the discovery channel or wikipedia. [/QUOTE]
