Where is Carmen Sandiego?

[Joy]

Q1: Different reasons. I don't like the curriculum, for one. I'd like to make more friends, and see them more often. I just generally dislike homeschooling.
Q2: Hockey and horse-racing.
Q3: Sure!
Q4: I have no idea!

Carmen Sandiego is a media franchise of educational computer and video games, television programs, books and other media featuring a thieving villain of the same name.

Okay.

What kind of school would you like to go to?

...homeschooling can be great, but I've seen it go bad way too often. It warms my heart to see children here not really caring for homeschooling since it tends to be heaped with ridiculous praise on this board.

It works for different people. With me, I love it, and I'd hate to go to School any day. I get to stay at home, wear whatever I want, I don't have to get up really early and I don't have to be approved since it's my family, it's easier, I'm not under presure, if I have a question I can just go to my Mom and Dad and they can talk to me for ten minutes If it was a big question. I get to go to co-op and hang out with friends, I don't really care how young the girls are (since I have a friend named Rachel who's ten), I absolutely love science, and it's not a big "Ooh they're together" thing if I hang out with my guy friends. I like my curriculum and my Mom says I'm great at literature. I'd never, ever, ever want to go to a Public School... Once my sister even cried like a baby when we were given the option. We all agreed we'd rather be homeschooled.

Sorry, way off topic.

What color is your eyes, skin, and hair? What's your favorite AIO character, episode, album, and video? (If you've seen any of them). How big was the biggest snowstorm you've ever had?

Well, like I said, it certainly CAN work. My wife was homeschooled, and I have good friends who were. I do think that "can work" isn't the same as the best option... although in some instances I'm sure it is, just speaking on everyone in the world overall. It's hard to criticize homeschooling as a whole because every family has their own style and their are different curriculums at play. I think structure (getting up early, having to dress a certain way, occasionally having pressure applied) are all important things in child development.

Also of note, public school is not the only alternative to homeschooling. There are many excellent private schools, Christian and otherwise, that offer excellent education programs... although there are also public schools which do the same. There are bad public schools, though. I would prefer not to send my child to the school district I'm in, but I have private school options, and if that is not affordable, I can open enroll my fictional child at a nearby public school just a couple blocks from my district that is great and I'd have no problem sending my kid to.

To stay on topic, Joy/Regisville, what do you think of all this!?

[Joy]

First of all, my mom is very busy with our business. She doesn't have much time, though she tries to make time. And, I do homeschooling a bit differently. I watch my school on the internet. Basically, you pay for it, log in online, then watch videos of my school. And the thing is, they treat you like little kids. Puppets, painted backgrounds, stuff like that. I really don't like it.
Q1: There is a public school near where I live. It seems like a good school. Some of my friends go there.
Q2: Bluish green. Light complexion. Short, average brown hair.
Q3: Hmm..currently, Olivia. Not sure. Really hard decision. Well, all of the Novacom albums. Baby Daze.
Q4: Not sure.
Well, I think I really don't like my curriculum. Buzz's experience may be different. And, Buzz, my church is mostly boys. I usually hang around with them. It's like, 5 or 6 boys around my age, a few years older, a few years younger. There are 2 little girls, 4 and 2. I was addressing you saying that you hung around with your guy friends, and saying you didn't want people to say your "together". I think there are lots of people who have guys as friends. It just depends on how you act.

[Joy]

Ask me pretty much anything and everything. From interests and hobbies, to what color I'd paint a rocketship, no question too small, or too big. Just no super-personal questions please. Ask crazy questions that require super long answers, and I'll have tons of fun creating a really awesome answer.

Should I call you Joy or Cam?

Should I call you Joy or Cam?

You can call me whatever you prefer. Joy is actually in my name, but Cam was my first nickname. Both of them are fine, AE.

[Joy]

Yes, I've made another one! Please ask me questions! I love to answer them.
