I'd say homeschool. You need smart parents, outside in the middle of the day, continue the understandable learning. Then done. I suggest 5 hours a day. Workout is optional.

Homeschool. There's no drama, no bullies, and much less pressure. You have more free time and more time to pursue extra classes or volunteer work outside of school. I've been to both, and my grades actually dropped in public school. The learning environment in public school isn't as ideal as homeschool. One teacher teaching twenty kids won't have nearly as much time for one-on-one as a class with one teacher and one or two students. Different kids learn differently, and many that See More▼ are public schooled are labeled "stupid," "dumb," or "not smart" because they are forced to learn in a way that they can't learn as well. Some kids learn better visually, some are better with audio. Also, contrary to popular opinion, homeschoolers generally have better social skills than public schoolers. Because homeschoolers are raised in an environment where they have equal interaction with adults and peers, they can carry on conversations better with both groups and tend to be less shy.

I'd go with neither. I wanted to do some sort of international program but my high school didn't support it and by the time I figured out how to do it, I was done with school :/ but public school has marching band and that's fun.

regular because not only do you learn academics, you learn most of your life social lessons at school.
but i'd say neither. private school!

well, i go to a medium sized school with about 380-ish kids (i won't tell you exactly which school- i'm big on internet safety). the best things about private school is that it's usually are really save environment with so few kids that everyone gets a lot of attention from teachers. (most of) the kids you meet in kindergarden will stick with you until you graduate. See More▼ there are many strong and close friendships. the downside is that if you get really mad at all your friends, there usually aren't that many other people (in your grade) that you can turn to. it's still great, though. :)
public school is great to though! i went to a public school from kindergarden until second grade! :)

Homeschool. People would say that you cant make friends and that homeschooled children aren't very social. But homeschooled children are more social then children that go to public school. My mom joined a homeschool group and I get to meet other homeschooled children almost everyday, I take a homeschool P.E. Class that my mom found out about through my homeschool group.
You are SO lucky! We just do push-ups and stuff like that. Now I wish that I were homeschooled!

Awesome I mean if your over the age of 13 you help volunteer with the little kids, or if you don't want to you could just play with the bigger kids around your age. We play games like capture the flag, have a ball. We get to play different kinds of sports every month to help us with our skills. They split us up 5-9 has to go to the other side of the court while See More▼ 10-16 stays on the other side. I guess it's to be safe and not cause many injures. But both sides get to play the same game. If we are playing football the little kids work on passing and running with the ball, to make sure no one gets hurt. Well all I can say right now :P

I think public schools are better. If you are homeschooled then you still have to go through the pain of school but with less socializing.
You don't have less socializing. Homeschoolers socialize just as much as public schoolers, but not during academic time. Trying to learn while passing notes or trying to carry on a conversation while studying is not promoting "social skills." Also, homeschool is significantly shorter, giving you more time to see other homeschoolers and join extracurricular activities.
