I was home schooled from 2nd grade until sophomore year of high school. My program was very loose and there are gaps in my education I wish didnt exist. However when I joined public school in high school I realized how basic and sub par most of the classes were.
I never really suffered from social issues due to having a "home school group" that we regularly met with to play sports, a couple siblings that were close to my age, and being on various high school or public sports teams while being home schooled.
If I could go back and do it again I would make sure to get a better foundation in English and Math. My overall understanding in science and history probably suffered more than it should have as well but those dont have as much impact on my day to day life.
- TrevorJ 10y agoLargely similar experience. I took the ACT having never taken a formalized test in my life or having stepped foot in a real classroom. Completed most sections with perfect or near perfect scores, but my math score was abysmal. It uncovered some major gaps in my knowledge.
- Taylor_OD 10y agoHaha. Interesting that you mention the ACT. I took the ACT before a home football game, score a point or two above average and then joined my team right as we ran onto the field. When I saw the results they were similar. Math was by far the worst section.
