Choosing a school

Post Reply New Topic

I have been thinking about this for a while and am stuck with way more cons than pros. Here arer the possiblilitys

Home School-

Pros
1 no social interaction
2 fast short days

Cons
1 easily distracted by my things
2 competing with my brother
3 no possible friends
4 difficulty reading the entire text based school


Public School

Pros
1 making normal friends
2 getting away from my family
3 having a normal schedule

Cons
1 to much stimulation
2 bullies
3 remembering to do/hand in homework

Special School

Pros
1 Get help where I need it
2 fewer people

Cons
1 "Special" freinds
2 long drives
3 boredom

I don't know what to pick and I really am worried about choosing. I aslo need to pick soon so my mom can start making arrangements.

Can you combine Public School and Home School?
So it's your choice? Your lucky my Parents really didn't give me a choice. They sent me to a Special School for my 8th grade, and I would have stayed there had my scoalrship been renewed. It was a good school and If we were good we got to go to McDonalds on Friday for lunch. However being there was bad for my self esteme. I was pulled from public school and felt like a faiiler for being there. I was really happy when I learned I'd be going back to public school. It will probbly be fifrent for you since you will be making that choice.
Anyways:
I don't think Home School was an opition when I was in High School. I wish it was. I think it would have been best if I spent the early part of the day learning math and a forgian lanaguge. Two subjects that hold me back today. Than I would have done my strong subjects in reagular school.
Are you planing to go to college after high school? If you are you should spend some time in public school or a "reagular" privet school. There is a lot of stimulation in class. I get distracted by a door opening not to mention the conversation some other stuents are having behind me. There is also homework, papers and readings that you got to do. Might as well start training yourself now.

First, weigh up the "Pros" and "Cons," together...


1. First eliminate the option with the most "Cons"...

2. Then from the remainder of options, choose the one with the most "Pros" or the one that's "Pros" are more beneficial to you.

SO there you go- a simple and logical way of deciding.

...I hope this helped!

I know a few parents who have children on the spectrum. Ideally, they need to go to a special school; as they can't cope in mainstream. Yet, special school (from what they've said) is no good for someone who is bright

Looking at your list seems to me that public school is winning: it has the best relationship of pros/cons. Apparently you already decided but want some backup.
