Homeschool

Un-biased definition: School work at home.

Contrary to popular beliefs, kids who are home schooled DO have friends, DO have lives, and AREN'T all religious. Parents do it if they don't live in a place with a decent school district, or want their kids to have a better education than any school can give them. The one on one attention helps them to grasp facts and ideas and formulas better.

There are home-school groups, co-ops, 4Hs, sports, etc. And that doesn't even include the non-homeschool-only activities that they can participate in.

And in most cases, it's not parents randomly trying to teach their kids. There are curriculums that the parents can order, that outlines every step of the way kind of like a script, so they really don't have to know much, but still be as good of a teacher as one with a degree.

If done sucessfully, the homeschooled child will end up having friends that attend private schools, public schools, AND who are also homeschooled.

People actually EXIST outside of a physical school. Shocking, I know.
I'm a 14 year old girl, and have been homeschooled all of my life. And believe me, I go out, I have fun, I have a boyfriend, I have FRIENDS. There's even homeschool proms and dances where I am that I go to.

Don't believe the stereotype.

Non-Home School Kid: What school do you go to?
Home school kid: I'm homeschooled.
Non-Home School Kid: Oh, wow, how do you meet anyone?
Home school kid: I'm homeschooled, not under house arrest. Plus, I met you, didn't I?

homeschooler

:in general, the mindset of those who are unfamiliar with homeschooling is that homeschoolers are unsocialized, intolerant, self-righteous, abnormal people. Yes, some homeschoolers are. However, the vast majority are normal people who simply choose a more specialized/focused educational program. Through homeschooling, one has the freedom to move at one's own pace; completing work at a quicker pace or spending more time on a concept as needed. Many homeschoolers have tutors for some subjects, take a few courses at public high schools, use video courses, or enroll in college courses while still in high school, in addition to parental instruction. Mostly, they just want the freedom to pursue their interests in depth, while still fulfilling high school requirements.

As a homeschooler, I can place a high emphasis on music, yet not abandon academics, while pursuing my high school education. While maintaining a 4.2 GPA, I take music lessons, sing in choir, play in my city's youth symphony, and am highly involved in Marching Band, Symphonic Band, and Varsity Jazz Band at a public high school. I have also composed music for a drama to be performed at the high school. Yes, I do have many friends who are my age, a large percentage of them being public schooled. I also wear normal clothes and shop at stores like Express, American Eagle, and The Gap. I am a normal person who just likes to accomplish as much as possible.

Homestar Runner

The first and only media character on the net that it fun, crazy, awesome-voiced, and virtually a drug. A GOOD drug, mind you.

Oh, just visit homestarrunner.com!

There are many-a-word that are very strange. One being: banana. Banana had three a's, two n's, and one b. Where's HOMESTAR RUNNER the originality? I mean, it could've been called: "Weird Crescent Shaped Fruit o' Doom." Or maybe: "A Fruit that is so shi- oh shoot, time's up.

Homestuck

A web comic written by Andrew Hussie. It is an emotionally stirring class drama that takes place in a group of demons called trolls. Six of the twelve main characters are part of the upper echelons of society, and they rule over the other six who are their slaves. The comic begins when a with the slaughter of a tiger by one of the upper class trolls, Vriska. After getting the tiger, a god-like figure in their society, she faces an inspiring journey of self-discovery, redemption, and weight loss. Side plots include a heart-wrenching tale of a butler abused by his ruthlessly strong master, and two childhood friends torn apart by political tension.

This work of genius has received positive reviews from many highly acclaimed sources such as The Baltimore Sun and Christwire.

That storyline from Homestuck was inspired by Jack the Ripper's crimes.
