Should I go to public school or stay homeschooled?
Public school definitely Look kid, once you go to high school next year, things will change. It'll be easier with the "popular girls". Also, since you're not getting a social life, I would go with public. There are more pros than cons Why you should not be homschooled NO MOTIVATION: BAD! You need to be motivated and that's what teachers are for NO SOCIALIZING: NO-NO! You need to socialize and have friends or you're going to be lonely and ever MORE less-motivated. I have been in this situation before. I have been homeschooled for 5 yrs, no socializing, just sat at home and I wasn't motivated. Plus just ignore the popular girls. Plus, people will like you for who you are! Scene doesn't mean posing! Since you hate homeschooling, go back to school! Being original and being scene is fun!

Should I stay home schooled or go to high school?
Definitely keep homeschooling:Homeschool is Better Academically: The evidence suggests homeschoolers who homeschool all the way through do better academically than school students. While due respect is given to the school teacher at the bottom, she is projecting her opinion and has obviously not looked at the evidence. Studies by the NHERI show many school teachers are a bit biased like this. (Conversely many teachers are homeschooling parents themselves, so teachers are polarized on this issue).Less Homework: At home you’ll be doing 3–5 hours of homework…doing INTERESTING subjects you like at your pace. At school, you have to do work in which you get a restricted choice and it’s boring at the pace of the slowest one in the class. At school you can look at 6–7 hours plus 1–3 hours homework a night.Bullying: Yes, if you’re an ex-homeschooler you can almost guarantee on being bullied (unless you compromise a lot of your values as I’ve seen happen).Family Relationships are not as good with your family as when you homeschoolLess Help: You have less help when you need it and have to wait for help when you need itNo flexibility: forget spontaneity. You’re going to school now. It’s nine to five now.Wife of the HSLDA president writes a good article on this if you’re interested. Hope this helps and you make a good choice.

Should I go to a public school or homeschool?
I can't make this decision for you, so I'm not going to pretend to. What I am going to do is lay out the two sides of your dilemma:Public school You would be in a large group of peopleYou would have lots of class optionsBUTYou would enter school mid-semester, where it's more difficult to make friendsYou would be entering classes that may not be on the same topics as your old classes (either ahead or behind)HomeschoolYou would no longer be stuck with the same two classmatesYou would have space to study when and how you learn bestBUTIt can be pretty lonely to homeschool without joining an established groupYou may fall behind without someone personally keeping you accountable for your studiesStaying at your current schoolYou would keep your studies consistentYou get personal attention from your small school's teachers and peersBUTYou will probably hate going to school everyday You might regret staying as long as you have
Can't stay focused on homeschool?
You have to ask yourself if you really want to go to the high school and graduate from there. If you don't, then that has to stop being your focus. Whatever your goal, figure it out. Since you apparently don't have an interest in just learning and doing the material, your focus is going to have to be on the goal. Maybe it'll still be to finish by Dec. If that's the case, write it down: I will finish my blocks by December 1. After that, you need to break down how much you need to get done each month to finish by then. Once that's done, figure out how much you need to get done this week. Then, on a daily basis, you figure out how much to do so that you'll be done your week's goals. After that, it's all up to you: you need to MAKE yourself do it. The best way is to probably set up a schedule that you make yourself follow--up at a reasonable hour, have breakfast, then an hour of work; short break (15 minutes), then another hour of work. Ideally, you'd get 3-4 hours of work in before lunch. Take a good hour for lunch, going for a walk or doing something fun--something to refresh yourself. Continue working during the afternoon if you need to. The toughest part is really going to be to make yourself do it through the feelings of "I don't want to". That's what this is all really about--not wanting to feel that feeling. The best way to deal with it though isn't to avoid it, but to take it head on. "I'm going to do it even if I don't feel like it." You actually say that to yourself: I'm going to do it anyway. I'm going to work hard this next hour then take a break. I'm going to get this done. Etc. Self-talk is SOOO important for finding and maintaining motivation when those feelings are there trying to detract you from your goals. It's also a matter of seeing that you have to CREATE motivation instead of just finding it. Good luck! You can do this!!
Should I switch to homeschooling in senior year? I have a 3.83 unweighed GPA and 1450 SAT score and have mostly A's in school. I feel like my private school is overpriced and there are no good teachers that worth my stay.

Graduate from a regular high school, since you’re this close.A homeschool diploma is often given very little value among employers, because there’s no proof that you actually are qualified to be a high school graduate. There’s no official “Homeschool Diploma” - your mom can make it up on her computer and print it out on card stock. Not exactly reassuring for a potential employer, you know? When it comes to making a choice between qualified candidates for a job, the guy with the “real” diploma will have a leg-up over the homeschooled competition simply because he can prove he’s actually received an education.
