Whatever the cause, be it one of these options, something not listed, or a combination of both, school has an undeniable quality that makes it perfectly designed to cause stress. Teenage angst has never been so widespread.
On the other hand, there is homeschooling. You have loose schedule, get to work at home, and your teacher is also your Mom! Not only this, but you also get a complimentary dose of social anxiety!
Homeschooling has it's perks, but there are some undeniable downsides. There is the problem of being taught by your parents, who probably haven't had much teaching experience. Examples:
"That's not how I learned it!"
"Go to your room until you know how to graph linear equations!"
"Uh, I don't know what this is."
Not to mention that homeschooling pretty much guarantees that you will become weird and unsocialized.
So, yeah. School is pretty much the worst. I am a wee bit cynical when it comes to this topic. There are issues with pretty much every option. Don't get me wrong, I love learning. Just not school. I didn't get into private school, but that's pretty much public school with more judgmental kids.
Here is my advice: Don't let school get in the way of your education.
