no u don't
my friends said it sucks unless ur homeskooled from the beginning
btw 4 the highskoolers: do u love the fights?
Actually, it's not as bad as you think. Let's see:
1. Ability to sleep 'til Noon
2. Food whenever you feel like it
3. Staying up late because you don't have to get up a 6...
And I don't think anyone likes fights....
... Man, I'm home-schooled and I only get the perks of number 2 >>'
Hyper Spammer: I don't like fights, but hopefully if the situation were ever reversed and I was in Public school, it would be like Ichigo, in that I own everyone else

And I was in HS since Grade one, and I was actually cursive writing way before anyone else it seemed. It helps when there's only one person learning instead of thirty at times.
