A few years ago, I wasn't doing well in tests. So, when I was eight, Mum and Dad decided to teach me at home. Homeschooling is great, I thought! I could stay in bed all day! But my parents didn't think so. They knew what I needed to learn. Sometimes I had lessons but most of the time I studied things I liked and found interesting. That's how homeschooling works best. My favourite hobby was playing computer games. So, with Dad's help, I began to write my own computer programs. But I didn't sit at the computer all day. I liked making models too and for that I needed ... maths. At school maths was boring but now it was useful for making my models.
So were there any bad things about homeschooling? Not really. I was sorry that I couldn't play with my friends, but I could do it at weekends and we talked about school. Some weeks I studied more than they did. Other weeks I didn't study much. And I never had homework!
