I'm not talking about basic factual or semantical mistakes; I mean really sayign to a teacher "that's wrong, the primary reason for the rise of Hitler was XYZ".
Yes, I have seen that happen. It’s quite rare, and I don’t recall the circumstances, but I remember something like that.
Are you considering doing a Masters or PhD? Because that's exactly what's required of you.
Still not sure. Before I decide that, I need to decide my college and major.
It's not just about interacting with them, it's about not interacting with them, and pretty much livign with them on day to day basis
The only girl I live with on a day to day basis is my mother. No sisters.
Why is it "dangerous" when it becomes more? Granted high-school isnt where rel relationships develop (though saying that, a number of people who developped relationships in highschool here are still together, 8 or 9 years later), but it means that when you go to college or whatever, you're not sexually and emotionally backwards.
Well, perhaps dangerous from a Christian standpoint. I understand your point here.
Is there some reason you picked an evangelical college with such strict rules that caters to Christians who were schooled at home? Did you consider any other colleges?
What do you think about this article about Patrick Henry University written four years ago?
'God's Harvard': Embedded in Patrick Henry College
a) I actually have not picked my college yet, I am a junior in high school. Yes, I have considered other colleges, and am even now still considering everything and weighing my options.
b) That article was interesting. One fact I noted about it was that it portrayed PHC from a negative standpoint, purposefully finding bad things about it, and I didn’t see much praise. I actually know Derek Archer, at least indirectly. His fiancé was my writing tutor for a semester, and I saw him just recently.
c) I think the article had some good points, and I had not known that about PHC myself. Certainly food for thought.
d) I will say that the dress code there is a little strict, but I would do my best to uphold it and their rules, if I went there.
What is the extent of "non-credit" education?
Drug education?
Sex education?
Compulsary physical education?
Compulsary social time?
a. Drug education was talked about back in elementary school, and even the high school doesn’t do much, just gives out a piece of paper explaining the problems and the rules against them.
b. My sex education consists of Dad and me, one on one. And he speaks blatantly. The rule is, if I come across something, and I don’t understand it, take it to him. Which I do. Which was how I learned about condom use over the summer.

That was awkward.
c. I run often enough, have recently begun lifting weights, and also play soccer, as well as having 2.5 acres of land on which to exercise.
d. I’ll be going to a birthday party on Saturday, in which there will be guys and girls. There are lots of events going on actually, so many that I have to say no to some.
I’m a major extrovert, so I really enjoy the social aspect of my classes. I also use facebook for keeping up with friends I don’t get to see often.
@verarde: I was trying to say that it's hard to be critical with a concept, when it's the only one you know. I am under the impression that being homeschooled decreases the chance for one person to be curious about the world. It decreases the chance that you ask yourself: "hey, I have been told this since like forever, but is it real? isn't there other ways?"
Being with different people who received different educations every day certainly improves this.
Yes, I would say that the education I am receiving makes that impression of yours wrong; perhaps other educations that other homeschoolers receive make that impression right.
Sorry for my wording (typos and grammar) btw.
No problemo.

About PHC as a whole, and colleges as well:
I’m not closed-minded to a college just because it is not a “Christian” college. I have no wish to go to a “party” school, and I believe that the environment in which I will work best is one with other young Christian men and women. The college I want to go to is one that will cherish my beliefs, cause me to think hard, and teach me in an excellent way. The one that is leading the pack right now is Patrick Henry. God alone knows if another college will present itself.
