Well my first 1 1/2 years in PF I was homeschooled too, and I think I got 20 or so the first year... which was way more than anyone else, and I hadn't even tried super hard. I think homeschooling goes really well with Pathfinders, because as you mentioned you do have a little more time on your hands to develop your leadership abilities and earn honors. The main thing about it is, you learn as you do your homework, you don't have a teacher lecturing you on how to do it before hand, so your time is cut in half, or nearly.

Two schoolyears ago I started homeschooling again for highschool (in fall of '05). I also started carrying on TLT duties as well. I am soo glad I was homeschooling, because I think I benefited a lot more from the program that way. Since I was the only TLT at the time who was homeschooled, a lot more responsibility fell on me simply because I felt I had the time when no one else did.

This year, I am, at least according to the books, "homeschooled", but I'm only doing one class at home (well, I guess 2 or three: Chemistry, and Bible/Health). I'm also taking a 2 classes at my local highschool and 1 at the local Adventist college. It's a lot of fun, and is a little bit challenging (although so far most of everything I've "learned" minus that classes I'm doing at home are things I already knew). Plus I'm a Bible Bowl coach this year (I'm too old to participate

). I honestly don't know where I'd be if it weren't for both Pathfinders and being homschooled...

True, as a home schooled pathfinder I did attain lots and lots of honors. As I got older, I even taught 2 classwork groups, and taught a half dozen honors or so.

Now, I'm taking classes at a community college, and am still evolved in pathfinders.

Take the opportunity of homeschooling to have a lot of fun in Pathfinders by doing extra activities and honors!

The small amount of homeschool that I experienced was mixed. I took 2 classes via distance learning. I loved the astronomy class I took, but really hated the algebra 2 class I took. The algebra 2 book didn't do a very good job of explaining the material and I was at a disadvantage of taking a full load of academy classes at the same time and being at least 2 different timezones away from the campus and I always tried calling for help during lunch hours.

Yeah, I hope too... if there's a dusting of snow or frost or anything I can't drive...

Anyhow, back on topic. I love Apologia science. I'm taking chemistry this semester. Dr. Wile explains things so simply, and yet goes into so much detail at the same time. It's a really good education at a very understandable, make-sense level, and all through it keeps pointing to God as the Creator

Yes! Apologia Science is very, very good! I did it in my homeschooling in high school. I am now taking General Chemistry at a community college and I am finding it not too difficult. The background I got in the Chemistry course really has helped me. Your right it is very easy to understand. Which is a plus, with homeschooling... although my dad is a chemistry major so I could ask him questions also.

Wow! I'm impressed w/ all the homeschooled pathfinders on here! :smt038

I guess you can include me now! :smt016

lol I am homeschooled and have been since about the 4th grade... There have been times where I wanted to go to a school but it's worth it... :smt023

I wouldn't be able to travel and participate in the big pathfinder events like I do. If I was in school the teacher would have me for lunch {this would be the teacher} :arrow:

{this would be me} :arrow:

with all the trips and things that I do! lol
So homeschooling has been worth it..and anyone who knows me knows that I am NOT socialy challenged!

I am almost finished though with school so...but im not through yet

Mitch: yeah, I've heard a lot of people that homeschooled through highschool say that even in college they refer back to their Apologia textbooks because it makes more sense. Lol! (If anyone's interested, Apologia has a forum: apologia.com/lounge.)

missiongirl07: I got a t-shirt a couple months ago that has a yellow diamond-shaped "sign" on the front that says: CAUTION: UNSOCIALIZED HOMESCHOOLER. Lol, when I saw that I just had to get it :lol:

(the website that I got it from is http://www.homeschoolmania.com)
