The academic quality of the student would greatly vary. Public schools aren't very good, but they aren't the only option. I go to a private school that is very highly regarded.

I really can't imagine that homeschooled students can get into college easier. Colleges base a large portion of admission on transcripts and prior records and homeschooling doesn't produce those. Then you still have to take the SAT/ACT, the scores of which won't be weighted by whether or not you were homeschooled.

That being said, I hate my school with a passion, but I still wouldn't want to be homeschooled. I would hate staying in my home for so long and I honestly don't care about getting a better education, since I'm not going to give a damn about math/science/English/etc. no matter where I take it.

[QUOTE=Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]So id say i finished the 10th grade and do the 11th[/QUOTE]

No.

I don't know where schooling histroy, first off.

I'm assuming.

You dropped out when you were pregnant with your son or had him.

You'd start back up wherever you left off in, I guess you say 10th. You'd finish 10, then do 11th and 12th. Just be a couple years late.

At your age, You'd want to check into GED or "Adult Ed.". Since it would be more time efficiant for you.
Your local HS would have the Adult Ed. and a Community College would most likely have the GED program.

Basically, you take courses to "cover required needs" and then take the GED. GED is accepted as a high school diploma.

oh ok thanks

I hear getting a GED is extremely difficult though. My uncle dropped out of high school and had to get one. He said it was ****ing hard.

Well. Then you should just go wherever.

Actually many colleges do. Research it.

Yes, you still have to do well on SAT/ACT tests. That's still part of it.
You make a transcript documenting your education.

Since I'm starting at a community college and working on my transfer degree in Criminal Justice. I'll have that transcript & my high school one.

I've never done that, so I don't know.

From what I know/understand.

You take required classes and once you finish those.

You take the GED. If you pass, then you get your "GED".

I'd think if you want it, it wouldn't be hard.

Keyword: want

I could imagine it being hard. But in her position, I think she would still be able to go back to high school. If she went into 10th grade she'd only be a year behind, which is nothing terrible.

That reminds me, I'm taking the ACT tomarrow morning. ****. Apparently if I get a 30 or higher the local university (which happens to have a great music program) will give me a full ride. It's too bad I hate that place and refuse to go there.

Too bad I guess. Why's so bad?

OSU?

Miami Of Ohio?

Yeah. It wouldn't be to bad for her.


I've never taken it, but I'd think...

GED: would have the following

Language Arts
Multiple Choice & an Essay
Math
Most likely a mix of,
Pre Algebra
Mostly
Algebra 1
Some Algebra 2
Some
Trig & Geometry

Maybe something else... I'd think those would be on there.

BGSU. My brother went there for 3 years as an art major so I've seen the campus and can't stand it. I'm looking for a small private school very far from home. I just hope the school I'm looking at will offer me some cash.

This wouldve been my last year in high school i wouldve graduated in a few months if i hadnt quit

Bowling Green State Uni?

My best guess.

Yes! I've proven ESPN CollegeDay to be educational.



[size=1]not just endless sports banter[/size]

I wouldn't know, I don't care about sports at all.

Except the truly inspiring sports like women's jellowrestling.

I'm a rabid sports fan.

Baseball
Basketball (NBA & College)
Football (NFL, College and sometimes AFL)
Boxing
Kickboxing
Hockey

I dislike womens sports though.

I know almost anything past & current about the main sports. :thumb: I've read the box scores in the newspaper since I was five and read so many stats over the years.

haha. I'll stop while I still have my dignitiy.

I was thinking Oil wrestling > jello

Sports is one way to seperate the Men from the Boys.

I used to love to watch football and play baseball, but that all stopped when I picked up the guitar. I never knew stats or history.

I was joking about the women's thing. :p

As was I.

Meh. I want a new guitar, but don't have the funds.

I'm sick of my Jackson. It plays and sounds 110% great.

It's just the FR is a bitch and I'm sick of it. I took it off and that was okay. The only difference was it took 5 seconds to re tune after 5-10 minutes instead of 2 minutes with FR on.

Same time to fall outta tune. haha.

I took the strings off and cleaned any dust from it. Now it's in my closet. :p

FR can be a pain in the ***, but the sound and playability is worth it. I just got a new guitar with a fixed bridge so I have a variety, both Jacksons (not counting my acoustic). :)

I used to be real heavy into sports...played/watch a lot of Football, Baseball, Basketball, etc.

I hurt my back irreparably early in the 6th grade football season so it pretty much rules out competitive sports for the rest of my life. Kinda sucks, because I wasn't bad at them.

Naturally, I started getting into other things. For a while it was computers, so now I'm *fairly* computer literate. Then I moved on to music. I still maintain a day job working in IT, but I focus more on listening to and playing as much music as possible.

Hmm. I don't see a difference in sound & playability on guitars with FR and without.

It was my first Electric Guitar and I had no idea how big a pain in the arse FR would be.

I was set on a Shecter with strings through the body. Then I played the Jackson and loved how well it played, the bridge and most of all how well it sounded.

haha. Now I'm truly ****ed.
Since I despise this guitar and don't have the funds for another one. Trade in would be nothing, maybe half a cent?
haha. They give nothing for trading in.

To Fury:
I'm real good with computers. I can write web pages, (yes lol) malware scripts, fix problems on my Desktop and Laptop. Decent with Linux. Though NOT great.

What have you been learning? Computers are something to learn since everything is going towards techy stuff.

Mostly hardware construction/modification - I love tinkering with the hard stuff, coding and programming just seem beyond me most of the time. Learning how to build web pages seems worthwhile enough, so if I have some spare time I'll probably try to DL a course on it. I also fiddle around with 3D rendering and graphics.

I'll be back in a half hour or sooner.

I meant that if the guitar sounds and plays great, I would definitely keep it. The annoying FR is something I'd be more than willing to deal with. While my DKMG sucks to tune, it sounds and plays great, and I would never get rid of it.

Charming, you say you're good with computers? Could you help me out with something tonight? In about 5 minutes my internet will shut off due to this school's firewall, but I have found a way around it on AIM. Could you do me a favor and hit me up on AIM tonight.

Hey, would you mind getting on MSN for a couple minutes? I want to ask you about something. It won't take long.

I just got back from seeing Children of Bodom. The show was awesome, and I was in the first row, so I could see everything. Through the eyes of the dead is lame, but Bodom was awesome.

They played almost all of my favorite songs except Bodom Beach Terror and Children of Bodom. Great show.

Where? ^^^

Hmm. They combined "Bodom After Midnight/BBT" at mine. They switched the verse and chorus each time.
