I want to be homeschooled next year, and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it and if it costs alot or not? If someone was to be homeschooled, would they still have to take gym or no?

No, no gym. But, I wouldn't reccomend homeschooling. It puts a huge dent in your social life, and you really don't learn as much unless one of your parents is like a real teacher or something. It doesn't cost a lot, but to make sure that you're at the same pace as the rest of your grade, at the end of the year your parents have to turn in everything you've done to see if you can pass to the next grade. There are some computer programs, like Excel, that you can buy that will give you assignments for you basic classes, depending on what grade you're in. I was homeschooled for two years, and while it was easy, I didn't learn much, and the next year i felt that I was lacking in the math department. If you are going to be homeschooled, see if your parents can hire an actual tutor to teach you subjects that you or they have difficulty with. Good Luck with your schooling!
