pros:
you can finish in one to three hours.
you don't heve to listen to a teacher for 2 hours for somthing you can figure out yourself in ten minutes.
cons:
you don't get to see our friends very often.

I was homeschooled at the age of 6-11. Pros: -It doesn't matter if you get up late. -One to one tuition with teacher/tutor/text book -Easier to concentrate on studies -You can bulid round work round your schedule (not the schools schedule) -You can order stationary off the ultra-cheap county supplies (what the school pays for stuff) -Don't have to worry about uniform Cons: -Teachers and supplies have to funded out of Parents or your own pocket -I geuss a similar thing applies to exams (I never took any exams at home) -Can be hard to moderate yourself into working -Can get lonley Btw, does this assignment count towards anything (if its like courswork you may have credit us lot as external sources).

Pros: Freedom of mostly everything No peer pressures No real pressure of trying to pass a subject I guess solitude for some people No hassles of a social life I guess it would be much cheaper Cons: Well you have very little social life... Children who do Home study usually have very poor social skills since they are used to being alone. Problem associating with the other gender hey you didn't really have a social life. May be harder to get a job since people may question the validity of you degree of knowledge. Well it may be harder to get some topics since you have no teachers to explain to you about the topic Thats all I can think about now so um good luck with your paper .
