Hi,
so I have been thinking a lot about starting online school. I've spoken to my parents about it and they seem slightly reluctant (as I expected), but I'm sure with good reason and persuasion they'll allow it. The thing is, I don't know if I should or not. I find myself constantly thinking of reasons why I should start online school. I really am not liking school, I don't like how teachers emphasise the 'importance' of tests, I don't like all the cliques and the 'popular' people (which also, is a reason why I am not very confident), I don't like that they make us do sport where balls are being thrown around everywhere, yes, I do active things, I just don't enjoy ball sports. I like to teach myself how to do things and I don't believe I need a teacher to do that for me, I am quite independant, it will be more free time for me - I can focus on other things I want to learn, have a part time job (I can make more friends that way too), write, read, make videos, etc. and I have self discipline. I come up with more reasons as I'm at school, just thinking now I can think of a few more reasons, but I don't want to bore anyone reading this.
I don't know all that much about online schooling, so maybe even if someone has done or is doing online school, they could give me a bit of an insight as to what it's like, the pros and cons. Solutions to some of the cons, and cons that don't really have a solution. We do have exams soon, I'm not sure how that works with online school... I just don't know how I would make friends in online school. I do have a group of friends at school at the moment by the way.
Thanks (link)

I think you should do online school because you can still learn while avoiding the things you dislike about public school.
