What are some alternatives for school?
I'm trying to find something outside of just going to school.I don't like the social aspect of it and I hate all of my teacher's methods.In fact,I'd feel better just teaching myself.Other than dropping out or being homeschooled,what are some alternatives?

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Correspondence courses are another way to do it. Due to illness, that's what I'm taking--but be forewarned, unless you're really good at keeping yourself motivated, they're not the way to go. Add that to the fact that they're WAY harder than regular school courses, and make your decision accordingly.
Correspondence courses have the reputation of being easy. They're not. Trust me.

You can be tutored somewhere else, or you can get your GED.

If you are talking about college, you can take classes online.
A lot of schools allow students to take classes online. And there are plenty of online high schools available.
If you're middle school or earlier, I'm sorry, but I don't think that you're going to avoid school.

See if there is a "homeschool academy" in your area...
Homeschool academies are usually christian organizations that teach classes to older (like middle/hs age) kids who want a happy medium between flat-out homeschooling and public/prep school.
That's what I'm doing now- i hate it because they patronize you (but it's better than my PREP school that i used to go to)
its like taking non-college level college classes.
you could research unschooling too... (though I doubt you'd want to ruin your future by doing that)
But there's really only public school, prep school, homeschool, homeschool academy, and independant study (which you could research too)

but I must warn you: homeschooling DOES have its flaws...
Ok think of this: in public school you hate running around all the time and dealing with social pressure. (this option is MUCH more stressful than homeschooling)
In homeschooling, you're bored out of your mind and you have no one to talk to, and all you can do is sit around on the internet all day and all night and do nothing. you'll be crying a lot because you are so lonely and you feel like a hermit who has been rejected from the world.
but personally i'd still choose it over public/prep school. but i guess it's just a matter of opinion.
Oh, and PS: whenever you go out in public you'll be liek "OMFG- BIRDS! THE SKY! THERE'S A PERSON OVER THERE! OMFG!!!!" because you never see people so you'll get really excited whenever you do. (it's not that bad though)
