Re: Alternative education

This past year my education has been a mix of Homeshcooling and High School. Long trips tend to keep you out of school for a semester. I spend a lot of my time around Homeschoolers, and I have seen many different methods. My semesters worth of classes (which to me were worth*less) were online. The people who did it up, in my opinion, didn't do such a good job (took a spanish class, learned more spanish in the Highschool in one day than the entire online course). Some of the Homeschoolers get videos and two work books with a text book (one work book for the questions, and the other to explain the answers to them). The other method I have seen is the commonly known, parent teaches child., with the occasional college course to catch them up. (bet you can't guess where half my friends go for schooling)

Oh yeah, I can try to get more information about different types of homeschooling for ya too.
