@Be_crazy25 It sounds... Fun, i guess, aside from... Everything. I would hate it. I love learning, but i like leaning what i want to learn, in my own time, somewhere i'm comfortable.  I'm what people call a nerd. I get straight As, read a ton (i have a college reading level), love seminars and guest speakers, have roughly 3 friends, spend most of my time on the internet, and watch sci-fi like normal people watch football. I think i'd enjoy and excel in class, but come in lacking in gym and social skills. Plus the whole thing about getting up early. But it might be a nice thing to try, just as an experiment.

Well, you do have to wake up early. But if you want to take band, orcastra, or choir, you have to go to school even earlier. There are a lot of clubs, and a lot of sport stuff. We have different classes that are 45 minutes long. Our lunch period is shorter though. You get to sit with your friends then. We have math, English (which is two periods long), science, gym (EVILLLLLL), a language (either French or Spanish), or a UA (a class that isn't really learning. Like cooking/sowing class, music, computer stuff, building stuff.). We get a lot of projects and most people get a lot of homework. When we get snow days or whatever, we have to make up that day in summer. I've never been in detention so I can't say what's that's like. But in order to get one you have to get a minor or major. Something either minor that you did three times (like being tardy) or something really bad. You can get suspended, I don't know what that's like either. 
            Gym is torture. Well, you either love it or hate it. I hate it. I'm unathletic. So I can't play most sports, which is all we do. Unless it's a fitness day then we have to run something like a mile. 
            We have advanced classes, like for English or math. I'm in regular for both. Or you have a reading/writing strategies where you struggle a bit with reading or writing and that is the replacement for your language. 
            We have to take the bus, to and from school. My bus is loud and the kids in there are obnoxious, but I'm used to it so I'm immune. Most of the kids at my school are obnoxious. 
            But I guess if I didn't have to wake up so early, I would like school.  

@Be_crazy25 Its hard, but not in the same way as public school. A lot of the time i'll tell people  home school is hard, and they'll freak out about not having to get up early or deal with the other students and teachers and having less homework. We keep our school stuff in the dining room, where our desks are. We work out of books like you do, but without the teacher. Our mum watches the baby, and we do our school. That's what makes it so hard, see, we don't have other students to ask for help, or teachers to explain it to us. We just have to figure it out from the books, with whatever help our mum can offer. I read a lot, so i learn some there. We're actually starting a co-op next year, where we'll meet up with a bunch of other home schoolers, and it's basically public school for one day a week. Wwe go on field trips more often then you do, but we don't get snow days or anything. Not even sick days. But over all, its pretty nice. Especially since i CAN'T wake up early.  At all. I don't even notice my alarm clock go off. Nothing can wake me. I regress. What's public school like?
