Ah yeah, that would be really difficult. I have learning disabilities so the homeschool part of my life was very challenging. And with a mother who was never home cause of work, I would be left to my own devices and end up not doing much work cause I couldn't figure it out. So I just told people I skipped 8th grade xD practically did!

I'd be graduating massage therapy school! Then I have a big ol' expensive test to take. Hope I pass the first time cause I think the school covers it first, then any time after its $200 a pop. I'm not anxious, nooooo lmao

@hachi:
maybe there are some traditional food items for new years?
also doesn't have to be chinese themed. wines and such can work too :D

I've come to realize I only want all the rare items I cant find/get/afford

@ruby:
Oh yeah? Mine was for the entire 8th grade, and mainly because I moved across the country for just that year xD
I always thought I'd be too academically slow for college cause I missed out on 2 years worth of HS from graduating early. But now that I'm IN college, I'm realizing just how very behind my schools were in general and that I probably wouldn't be any much more ahead than I am now. My bf already studied a LOT of what I'm currently learning when he was in his freshmen year of HS (he's younger than me, but also went to school in a totally different state) and my schools were stuck on middle school subjects.

Yeah there are practice tests I can take, so I'm not super worried. I took one already at the start of my course just for kicks and got 50% lmao
test is different for each time, but I hear its often full of common sense ethics

@ruby:
that seems like a weird concept. I'd imagine there would be exceptions in the contract if someone's not doing the job properly. I'd count ethics as part of a teacher's job too! but I digress.

oh its okay, i dont think I mentioned it before. I'm from Florida originally. Homeschooled when I moved to northern Texas for a year, then back to Florida for the rest of it. Now I'm in Colorado xd
Plan to work my way back into the south though, I hate it here lmao

@ruby:
no i dont mind the story! that's interesting and dumb how things work that way. Honestly kinda sounds like something you'd read as part of a plot of some book or something thats meant to frustrate the reader and put them on edge xD

anyway, sounds like it worked out in the end? you guys got away from it all and were able to move on.
are charter schools the ones that students live in dorms?

@ruby:
sorry I peaced out, my net got all funky xd

Thats a shame! at least you got to be there when it was good. Its seemingly hard to find good teachers anywhere you go, and harder to maintain them. Even my academy has some nut jobs. I cant even trust the dean lmao
It really is like I'm back in middleschool mentality again, only the teachers are just as bad as the students, so there's a lot of petty drama. a. lot.
and it is encouraged by some teachers
My class times are always disrupted by all the he-said-she-said drama and I'm just like, can we just move on to the subjects at hand please? Stay after if you want to gossip and whine.

I often come home and sit at my desk after my classes, and just put my head in my hands like what am I doing there
