Ok well I'm a freshman in highschool. Currently, I go to a great school with different "academies" that focus on specific jobs, such as health, telecommunications, etc. By the time I finish highschool, if I stay there all four years, I will have a certificate which will help me towards getting my degree. However, in this school, I have to wake up at five in the morning every day and I get home around 3:00, when school lets out at 2:30. I've been thinking about going to my homeschool, which is only a few blocks away. If I went to that school, I wouldn't have to wake up so early, I would get home much earlier, which would give me more time for homework, and I'd probably get much better grades because the teachers there are less strict and the work isn't as hard. The school I go to now is a uniform school, which means no worries about wearing an outfit more than once. I also have many friends here and the people are nicer. In the other school, there is no uniform, which means I'd have to spend more money on clothing, and the people aren't as nice, although I do have some friends that go to that school. My question is, what do you think I should do: Bust my butt at my current school but get a better education while I'm with my friends, OR take the easy road, make new friends, and still get an education, but not as great?

You get a good education and you can stick with friends that are their for you. You are gonna have to think about the consiquence here. If you go to another school you get off a half hour early. There is just a 30 minute difference. The school that I used to go to got off at 3:05 but it was a great school and now I wanna go back. You'll be getting the better grades because its going to be easy. Your not gonna face life like that trying to take the easy road because it might now be as easy as it is.
