I have an opportunity to go back to public school as a new homeschooler. I have a lot of reasons not to though. Should I go back or stay home?

So I am currently in 10th grade, and I started homeschooling in 9th after everything shut down my 8th grade year. I never actually got to experience public high school yet. So we started because of all the stupid mandates and it was just a better option. Not cause we were scared of Covid but because everyone was so brainless about the whole thing. Anyway, we said we would go back when they lifted the mask mandate.
as of a few weeks ago, they are no longer requiring them. I could go back next year if I wanted and finish off my last years of hs. But here’s my problem..

so I currently have like one close friend, so I wouldn’t really know many people anymore. And as for homeschool, it’s not bad. I finish my schoolwork around 12pm and then I head off to my job on a farm and work till five. I also picked up a hostess job. So I’m doing well for a 15 year old. my ONE good friend wants me to come back and says it’s fun. But public school has pointless homework, tests, and I wouldn’t be making money as school is 6 hours long.

so do I stay homeschooling and hope it’s better for me (which it is in the long run) or go back and all I get is socialization and nothing more? Pls help

you have to be smarter than your friends because you can be more focused and calm without distractions, that's what I do, when I homeschool I can be more focused and calm without distractions and can be smarter than my friends.

I can learn many things in the fields of law, politics, literature, history, hacking, programming, editing, philosophy only through the internet, maybe I couldn't do it when I was in regular school because of time constraints.

My advice you should start looking for your purpose in life and look for your talents and then develop your talents.

Yes, although in fact I've often won first and second place before homeschooling but honestly I'm smarter when homeschooling because I can think more.

and I suggest if in your spare time you can learn a lot of things through the internet and I suggest you have to hone your mindset, it should be with a lot at home that means you think a lot that's what I do, namely sharpen mindset.

by the way I dropped out of public school from 2018 and this year I graduated from homecholing junior high I should have been in 11th grade but I didn't go to school for 2 years because I was struggling with mental illness (ANXIETY DISORDER AND OCD (extream).

Honestly I’d say go public school. It teaches you so much more than just “school” stuff. Plus I always said that I have the rest of my life to have jobs and make money I preferred to have fun as a kid since that pretty much goes away after college.

Well, it sounds like you enjoy homeschooling more and it seems like there are a lot more pros to it compared to public schooling.


Do whatever you feel is best for you and allows you to what you enjoy
