k12 is a suckish school but i can post here while working.
So in this case does the good outweigh the bad? Is it worth posting this. Would you like me to go somewhere else so that this "pointless" post will go away

The only other advantage is that i can get work done quickly and school can be out at 1:00pm

So whats you opinion?

K12 is for kids who are just homeschooled and I never experienced it. So I would say that it's just a bit personal to you.

Dude, not NEARLY enough information.

I went to a k-8, it was alright.

The things that attributed merit to my experiences in retrospect (I'm 24) were the peer group, policies, richness of content and adeptness of teachers.

Whether or not you get out early or can use the internet are incidentals and luxuries, largely, although not entirely without influence on the worthiness of your educational institution.

No, a K-12 school is a school with facilities and faculty which and who facilitate the education of kids from kindergarten through twelfth grade.

Unless I'm missing something here.

Ok, sorry for the (possible) double post.

I see. I think that it's important to have teachers and a peer group.

Strongly.

I graduated high school because I went to an alternative school where I could have done all the work at home, but they had a campus close to my home. I had failed pretty much all of ninth through eleventh grade because of apathy (Although I still have the medal they gave me for scoring in the second percentile on my ACT two years before I was supposed to take it...), and I had to find something else lest I spend two additional years remediating high school.

So I went to an online school with a campus and teachers (who were cool as fucking FUCK), learned a whole lot about drugs from my peers, did seven semesters worth of work in a year (I actually did have a drive to get it done, and it was self-paced), graduated with honors and got into university.

Enough about me, how about you?

Oh, that's what that was all about; Although the peer group was more of a social benefit and an academic hindrance, it was wholly worthwhile because it provided enough incentive to show up every day that I was motivated to come. Having teachers there when I needed help (only, really, with math at the end of the year) was also invaluable because you can read something over and over, but you don't get the new perspectives of the thing being explained in different ways or of having someone who can answer strange questions...

I thought it was for kids who were missing out on school activities because it is difficult for them so somebody decided to make a program so that kids would get better grades.

Depends if you're introverted or not, I would expect that to be one of the factors possibly.
