Ask a Homeschooler

[NedimNapoleon]

Do you have normal grades and do you do exams verbally or in written form

 

[NovaKart]

I'm almost 30 so not really. But do you know what that means?

Bikini Bottom is where the show Spongebob takes place, It is named after Bikini Atoll which was a nuclear test site in the Pacific.

 

[NovaKart]

aha, i guess that makes sense. But I guess you realize what it might mean to some people. But honestly at 15 are you a bit old for spongebob? or is it an ironic or nostalgic thing? When I was 15 most people were into marilyn manson or nirvana but then I grew up in the 90s.

 

[shadowplay]

You're never too old for Spongebob.

 

[Darth Caesar]

How do you deal with the fact that you will be unable to persue scientific careers and endeavors due to your beliefs putting you at an inherent disadvantage with your peers who are no so similarly constrained? And that you will further lack the necessary social skills and experience in social interaction with peers, as well as teachers, professors, and employers to succeed at college, or the workplace? Which will further culminate in making you a less productive, or altogether unproductive member of society?

What do you think about fact that only about 7% members of the American National Academy of Sciences and about 3% members of British Royal Society believe in God?

I am not conscerned about being hampered in possible pursuit of a scientific career cause I am not pursuing a scientific career but a political one.

 

[shadowplay]

I assume you're a "non-denominational" Christian, is this correct?

 

[Lord of Elves]

but a political one.

And what type of political platform do you intend to campaign under? What issues are you hoping to correct or influence by pursuing public office?

How does a religion-focused homeschooling upbringing prepare you for something like that?

You think that now, when I first got into college, I wanted to do economics and biology and become sort of economical scientist or something, well that changed real fast and I ended up doing history. My point is you're 15. You have no idea what you actually want to do, and you're going to change your mind repeatedly over the course of the next 5 years. If you develop a sudden fascination with genetics like my friend did, (who originally wanted to be a lawyer) well then you're kind of at a disadvantage.

And more to the point in a political career of any sort you'll need communication skills, socialization skills, public speaking, analytical and critical thinking abilities, and research skills. I don't see homeschooling as being conductive to develping that, so again you're at a disadvantage.

I'm hosting a SpongebobB\ Mafia in the Forum Games section, that's why i'm using this theme.

Yes.

What would your parents do if they caught you doing drugs?

 

[Karalysia]

What would your parents do if they caught you doing drugs?

Or watching porn, or having sex.

It'd be very bad, but I would never do those things.

 

[ZeletDude]

You live in the metric world.



No, and the various other books I read help round it out.

I learned Metric in like 3rd grade (8 or so years old) and I live in the USA.

You're fifteen. Are you trying to tell us that you can maintain complete asexuality until you're married?

 

[NovaKart]

I saw porn when I was around 11 and I grew up in the pre-internet age. I wonder how people avoid it now.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

True few teenagers now haven't seen porn

 

[ZeletDude]

I have a question.

Do you feel your academic skills and knowledge are the same as some one who goes to normal school?

 

[Arakhor]

You live in the metric world.

You mean anywhere that isn't the United States?

 

[W|M]

I use both imperial and metric!
