I use Windows XP on my desktop, probably gonna end up with Windows 7 once I get myself a laptop sometime in the next year or so. It works alright for me but it'd be nice to not have to worry about glitches and viruses all the time. :(
For all the Ubuntu users on here- is it hard to install...
The only addon I use is Adblock. It stops annoying ads from showing up, speeds up page loading, and stops any malware that can infect my computer through the adspace. It's the only addon I really need for internet browsing, though I've been thinking about getting flashblock/ non script at some...
I guess that online schooling would be one of the better choices then. You don't have to put up with parents, schoolmates, or teachers. I've heard that it's not the best though.
Public school can still be pretty bad in its own right. You have to put up with some pretty horrible people in school, plus some downright ridiculous teachers. Not to mention the electives and phys. ed.
Do you still have to take electives while being homeschooled?
Yeah. Honestly I can't imagine either of my parents being particularly good teachers. How does it take away from your free time? I always imagined you'd have more free time being homeschooled...
I go to public school. I've never gone to private school because it's too expensive and religious. I guess it's good that I don't go to private school so I don't have to put up with any religious bullcrap or having to wear a uniform.
For the people here who are in homeschooling/ online school...
I don't really have a favorite class since all I do is daydream in all my classes anyway and I'm not interested in anything I learn or do in any of them. They're all the same for me: go to a class and sit back as the teacher lectures, then go home to maybe do some work or studying in the...
I've had summer assignments every year I've been in school and I've done it basically all of the time. I think having to read a book for English and maybe take some notes on it is okay, but practically everything else, especially the worksheets you get in math, are pretty much useless. What...
I use incognito mode for this exact reason. :lol:
I'm sure I've looked up some pretty weird stuff though. I just don't know specifically what and thanks to my practices of not saving my history, no one else will either. :)
Phew, for a minuuu-ute, I lost myself, I lost myse-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-eeeeeeeeeelllllllf!
My favorite would probably be something from either of those bands as well. Freakin' geniuses when it comes to lyrics.
I don't have one, I'm still in high school though so there's not much pressure to get one and school keeps me plenty occupied. I've tried to get some jobs to no avail and although having a job of some sort would have its benefits, namely getting some of my own income and having something to put...
I usually just keep to myself anyway so it doesn't matter to me whether the people in a class are familiar to me or if the're complete strangers; it doesn't affect me either way. That being said, it can be kind of annoying to me when people I don't know and have no interest in getting to know...
Pretty sure it was Super Mario Bros. 3 on the GBA. Me and my neighbor played through the game together and I ended up playing through it 3 times...good memories.
