For some families homeschooling seems like a great option. For parents it seems like you wouldn 't have to worry as much since your child would be at home and in front of you.

It is a full-time commitment and requires significant dedication to take responsibility for their child’s education. Single and working parents may not be able to commit the time necessary for children who are in elementary or middle-school. The cost can also be an issue. Public schools are free, except for incidental costs for field trips or…

There was not one thing individually that changed me. There were many different things some changed me in a negative way some in a positive way. When I wasn’t matured yet I didn’t really know who I was not like I didn’t know my name but I didn’t know who I wanted to be.

an alternative high school because they accept students quarterly. The first few weeks back in school, I began to enjoy it, but little did I know the school board was planning on shutting down the school. After hearing this news, I was shocked and confused. I never planned on becoming a spokesperson for the school, but it happened, I learned a lot, and I am glad I did. My time at the alternative high school really changed my opinion in many different ways. It made me realize that education…

5 % decrease in Units Packed per Hour (UPH) for both singles paths. Without the CPT chase, the decrease in UPH would not exist and therefore we would be able to pack out more items, making more money.
