I considered being a school-teacher. I know how the school system is, considering I was in public PK-7, private school another part of 7th, public again in 8th, homeschooled since Oct 14 05.

But…I’ve been around kids already a little much in my life. I don’t mean like little brothers and sisters (I don’t have those, but I do have plenty of nieces to make up for it.) I mean that I’ve been raising my 2nd oldest niece since I was 11. I’ve already seen the ups and downs of being a teacher, or parent, both of which are close to the students in school…so I’ve decided against schoolteaching.

I think I’ll go to tech-school for something in computers, just not sure what specifically. I think I’ll just put my main focus on getting through the next year!

heartcross - congratulations to both of your graduates. That’s proof right there that homeschoolers are just as good (and in a lot of times - academically- better than ps’ers.) My dad is dead-set against homeschooling. But since my mom is my legal guardian though he lives in the home (long story) she pretty much has 100% authority over my education. And she doesn’t care what I do.

hsmamainva - yea, your daughter isn’t the only one who’s changed her mind. I’ve already done that about 10 times. Just comes along with being a teenager I guess, but then again there are some who know from the time their 9 or 10 what they want to do and they end up there as an adult.

texas137 - I have both of those books on reserve at my local library :)

Susantm - I bet if there was a local author here who did that, there wouldn’t be that many homeschool graduates to include. 'Cause it’s Kentucky, and most parents are dead-set in the ways their parents went along with: sending them to school. Which makes me wonder 'cause most people didn’t even go to school here 'til the 1930s… but w/e. :P
