A few years ago, I wasn’t very happy at school and I wasn't doing well in my tests. So, when I was eight, Mom and Dad decided to teach me at home. They told me their decision one Sunday night.“That's great!” I thought. I could stay in bed all day! Well, it wasn’t quite like that! My parents found out what I needed to learn. Sometimes I had lessons but most of the time I studied things I liked. That's how home schooling works best.
My favorite hobby was playing computer games. So, with Dad's help, I began to write my own computer programs. But I didn’t sit at the computer all day. I liked making models too and for that I needed... math! At school math was boring but now it was useful for making my models. I made a model plane and a model boat and I needed to understand science and math to do that.
So were there any bad things about home schooling?
Not really. I missed my friends, but I saw them on weekends and we talked about school! They told me about their week at school and I told them about mine. Mine always sounded more fun. Some weeks I studied more than they did. Other weeks I didn't study much at all. And I never had homework!
I’m 15 now and I’m back at school because I need to take exams.
I don't mind. It's nice to be studying with my friends again.
