I go to public school so for all my friends on this site who are homeschooled, do you guys get breaks/what's the best thing about homeschool? Idk im just interested, cuz i've been public school all my life, and there's so many homeschool people on here and it's so cool! Lol thanks for reading my ted talk xD

My break started March 18th (so already over :-( and i am homeschooled, but my mom gives me the same breaks that the public schoolers in my district have. My favorite thing about being homeschooled is that i can skip ahead if i'm really good and a subject, so i don't have to do stuff that's super easy and boring

Hi @callie_b! Welcome back! I'm homeschooled and I'm actually just getting off of a break and getting back into the flow of school. We (my sister and i) don't get a lot of long breaks but sometimes we get the day off just so we can do family stuff when my mom gets the day off. And the best thing about homeschooling is probably wearing pajamas if I want or sometimes I just sit in bed for some of my work haha
bookstory14 bookstory14

HEY @CALLIE_B! I've been busy with track and music too! I don't have spring break, though, because of all those missed school days...in fact, every day has twenty minutes added on :P I'm public schooled, too! And YAY! (Have you seen the ted talk by James Perry? It's SO GOOD!)
bacon_bitzz bacon_bitzz

My break is next week! Yay and sad, because I sometimes like school, and sometimes dont.

I don't expect to have a lot of followers but I just want to become friends with everyone. My closest friend is @chlooe, she is always encouraging me to do as many book reviews as I can. But since I have a lot of homework to do, it's a bit hard to go on Dogobooks every day and see what's new. But I still hope to go on as much as I can, so please don't get angry at me for not going on, thanks!
bookstory14 bookstory14

We would never get mad at you! I am also having trouble coming on because I am busy.
beachbreeze16 beachbreeze16

We won't be mad! Good luck on that homework :)
