Lol I wouldn't really take it as an insult :p
Mind you, there were plenty of crazy hippy types that my family got in contact with briefly when they first home educated me :eek: Weirdos :D

Just curtious how you learnt a lot of things that your parents and school dont teach you?
Like getting along wiht other kids an Dirty words and sayings? :p
Ive seen some really smart people come from home schooling but as soon as they get unleashed in public they dont know how to interact and dont get a lot of jokes and stuff people say and are basicly years behind people there own age on the social scene

Just because you're home educated doesn't mean you get locked in the house throughout your education :p
I used to go to brownies, play table tennis, play football for a local team and go swimming. I had a more active social life back then than I do these days nearly lol.
I had a fair few friends :)

I also went to college to do my A Levels at 16 cue many advisors going 'How do you think you'll be able to cope with this change of environment?' 'Erm fine?'. Ended up pretty popular and got on with most people in my classes. :)
I'm fairly sure no one would be able to guess I didn't go to school between 6 and 16 either.

Depends how you do it imo. There's advantages and disadvantages to either going to school or being home schooled.
 
When I was in France, Private.

When I moved to London, Public.

I had private home tuition in my time in Cyprus and the middle east too. :)
 
I went to a rough state school, there was violence, drugs, alcohol and sexual diseases; the pupils were pretty misbehaved too. *Groan*

It was indeed the making of me. :cool:

I plan to move to a deprived area to raise a family, I want my kids to have those wonderful experiences too. :D
 
State comprehensive. But to be fair it's one of the better state schools in the country. I think that really says something about schools in this country though :p

I liked it enough to stay another two years for A-levels.
