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.
Yeah, I use the first and last benefits (I sleep pretty late, but usually not noon), but usually don't feel like eating excepts at breakfast, supper, and snack (Believe me, my "snack" counts as a meal). It's a good thing I'm not in Public School, because I imagine people would be wanting to pick fights with me all the time...
