Alas, school is starting soon, and I have more work this year than ever before. If you think homeschooling is easy, think again. I have to do English, Algebra 2, Chemistry, Consumer Math, Bible, History and Spanish. I strongly suspect my programming life is over for a good while.
Several people (Shork and Firebee in particular), have been trying using controversial blogs to boost their numbers, and I admit that I did participate for a while. However, I hope everyone will come to their senses and let such tactics fail.In the meantime, we are re-carpeting and painting the school room. It is has the highest traffic of any room in the house, and the cheap carpet that came with our house wore out in short order.I am attempting to turn this PC into a part-time DVR so I can immediately rewind my live satellite classes, but since the school room is torn up I am operating out of the garage. This wouldn't be a problem except that my wireless adapter doesn't have Ubuntu drivers, so I can't get a connection in Linux, which I need to download MythTV and other misc packages. I guess I have to do it in Windows and install them manually, but I am loath to do so.Well, that's all for now; back to painting (oh joy…)
Good luck with all of that.
At least you are (or should be) on good terms with your teacher…
Nice to see another homeschooler, by the way.Ha. I go to highschool. Tis' the shit.
^^In my little world, shit means bad. Man, I come from a crazy background, huh?
Anyhoo, I used to be homeschooled but I stopped after a few years so I could learn in a more compelling environment.To me, school is anything but compelling. It makes me not want to learn. And in school, you might get a bad teacher… like I did in math. I did pretty badly in math class just because of the teacher, and I also failed my year end examination.
My geometry teacher didn't teach my class. Every day she gave us a worksheet then sat at her desk and graded calculus papers, with the occasional quiz or test, during which she also sat at her desk and graded calculus papers.
@Melee: Anything is compelling next to sitting at home all day.
My math class was online last year. I was in the advanced math class with a hot high-school tutor. Lucky eh?
I was homeschooled, briefly. Then I went to public school and owned everyone with my superior reading skills.
haha bible
