The beginning Dun, Dun,Duuuun

Hello, my name is Connor Rohlfing Peters, or you could call me Connor. I started home-schooling about a year ago. I am ten years of age and want to keep it that way. I hate growing up. It all started in fourth grade ahhhh... Oh, sorry. Well, anyway it started when I was in fourth grade-- reading during math class. Yup, reading illegally, can you believe it? The math class was so boring and it rotted my brain. Yeah, math class was rotting my brain, just like when you watch tv. The class was ninety minutes long and all we would do was go over the homework, and do five math pages. And that took ninety minutes. How boring. The rest of the day was like that too. Do some work for five minutes and read the rest of the hour. Boy, did I read alot, but, worst of all, I would get in trouble when I got caught sneak reading.
So, mom decided that school was too easy, and waiting until seventh to go to a private school was too long. By that time I would lose every thing I already learned. All of a sudden, my mom forced me into submission; home-schooling, wa wa waaaaaaaaaa. Home-schooling is not that bad. Actually it is kinda fun. Uh-uh school, fun, funny, right? Well, not really. It actually is fun! Except the times I had to do work while we were at the beach vacationing. And the times... that... you do not want to hear about :).
We started home-schooling Jan 15,2009 in the middle of the school year. My brother thought that I was anti-social,but I hate to break to you, I do a lot of stuff with other kids. For instance, in the middle of my school day I can have another home-schooled friend over. And when our dogs had puppies, I got to stay home with them. Then my brother thought that I did no work at all. Well, that's not true; definitely not true. I finished the whole fifth grade curriculum in half a year. That's right, I completed two grades in one year. I have bragging rights :). I did a lot in one day, and this year I am even doing a online college course at John Hopkins University. My curriculum for last year is below. Well to wrap this up, I think home-schooling is a HUGE advantage. It is awesome, buuuuuuut... there are some tricks to survive it. That is what I am writing for! A kid's guide to surviving homeschooling!
