Homeschool

Yeah, why waste the effort in getting good grades when you can concentrate on more important things?

Obviously this doesn't apply to some of us in English Class....

^^^made me chuckle

The best thing about being home schooled is you don't have to get all those painful immunizations to attend.

I do virtual school. I'm currently re-taking most of the classes I failed in 10th grade (reason I left regular school...Total druggy loser). I have straight A's and will be done with my school year by Christmas and then I have an 8 month Vacation till senior year (back at traditional school).

Incorrect.
In fact, in some cases homeschooling can actually give you a leg up at
competitive universities - that is as long as you're not a total weirdo.

Just consider how many highschools there are in the country. For each of
those highschools there is a valedictorian, a salutatorian and a handful of
other students who are extremely bright.

How many people, on the other hand, are driven and passionate enough
to persue an education independantly? These applicants are put in a
completely different pool and can be very appealing to universities.

It sounds like the poster is looking for an easy out, so he'll probably just
end up screwing himself over, but homeschooling (as long as it's seperate
from religion) isn't such a faux pas these days as far as universities are
concerned.

.....Just for the record....

homeschool is good, if you want to brainwash your kids into having the same beliefs as you.

you also miss out on learning from many different people with different areas of expertise.

If there's one thing I've learned about traditional schooling in my
adventures as an independant study student it's that you absolutely can
not beat highschool for convenience. If you think homeschooling would
somehow be more efficient you're absolutely crazy.

Not to mention, the 'pointless' stuff you speak of is actually a really
important foundation to have.
