Suit yourself. I did high school by homestudying and I loved every minute of it. Except when I had to go to school to do the exams. Depends on your personality I guess, whether you're an indoor or outdoor person.


Did you do all of highschool at home? It's not the staying home that I dislike, it's the feeling of being outside the loop that annoys me.

Yup, everything was done through email, except exams. I actually had to go running to a near by gym and mail the entrance tickets to my school as a proof that I had done my PE classes. I usually just bought a ticket, ran one lap around the course and went home :lol:
I'd say that I had to use 95% less time to study the same material as I would've had to if I had gone to a normal school. Just cutting the time it takes to go to school and come back and all the breaks during a normal school day means that I had like 3 more hours of freetime every day. Not to mention the fact that most of the time I could easily read through all the course books in maybe 10-12 hours and get good grades on the exam, while it would normally take 1½-2 months of 6-8 hour school days to teach all that stuff to a class.
Naturally it depends on context, but studying/working at home can save a lot of time and resources. I really don't see the point in taking public transportation/driving to some place just so you can do the same task you easily do at home on your computer. All it does is take away your money and freetime. Why would you spend an hour a day (or more) getting to your school or your job, when you could be spending that time doing something fun or productive?

What's the loop?

I am full time reseller and I'd never bother opening a shop. Half of my customers are from Europe and South America. Just sell online. Less headaches, higher profits, and more freedom.
