Well, it really varies... I usually sleep in till about 8-9AM then get up, and do schoolwork till sometime in the afternoon. At which point I may do a variety of things. So I really have no set schedule
Maybe, I don't believe so I got an 87th percentile on my PSAT so I believe I'm doing okay... If I went to a public school it might have been higher or lower, but overall I don't believe either is innately better.
Good friends or just normal friends? I probably have about 6+ good friends, and maybe 20-30 decent friends. I don't really feel like counting them all right now. Most are fellow homeschoolers, I know some people who go to public schools as well.
I don't really know, it wasn't my decision as I said I've been homeschooled my entire life so I don't really no anything else. I guess the biggest thing is that I can tailor my education to suit myself rather than a 'one size fits all' system that schools employ. For example I have a friend who while not stupid isn't extremely bright either. If he were in school he would IMHO be very nhappy becausew he would have to do higher math etc. and probably get poor grades. Being homeschooled however he learns mostly 'trade skills' which he is good at, and will be able to use to support himself. (He doesn't plan on attending cllege)

When I was younger I had very little interaction, mostly because I lived in a very rural area but now I have many friends who I see usually at least once a week. This includes people from the two homeschool groups I do stuff with, as well as from the one where I used to live in VA.Oh, ok. I always thought that homeschooled people didn't really have that much social interaction. Thanks for clearing up that misconception.

What? That's about how many I have, probably a few more.
Well, I won't claim to be a playa' or anything. But I anage okay, could be better, but I'm certainly not horrible at it either. I can talk to girls/random people etc. just fine. I used to be very shy, but not anymore... That being said I'm not great at it either so I'de say I'm basicaly normal.
Well, by friend I mean people I know by first-name, and see/talk to on fairly regular basis. As well as know at least something about.
I wanted to know about the requirements for homeschooling exactly because of some crazy people. Sounds a bit frightening that some fundie nutjobs can teach their children in their own home without people monitoring the standard of teaching.Well, unfortunatly in America you can get a religous exemption. At which point there's basicaly no rules at all. Otherwise it varies by state in VA I had to take standerdised tests every year, and get 24th percentile or better. In GA all we have to do is say we spent 4 hours/day doing schoolwork, and they won't verify it or anything... Personally I think it should have more regulation, but it is regulated some.Thanks for the answers. Sorry to hear about brother though
Yeah, we can order standerdised tests, and in fact have to in some states. I also have trancripts from the online courses I take, and have taken the PSAT, and will take the SAT when I'm older.
