Where are the Classes on Life?
I'm almost 23 years old, living in Toronto, educated in the Western society school system, for lack of a better term. I still remember all of my university days, most of my high school days, and a few even before that. But when I turned 18, I realized one thing: I'm supposed to be an adult at this age. The legal system has said: "17 years and 364 days, CHILD!...but 18 years and 0 days, welcome to adulthood. Welcome to doing your taxes, making your own doctors appointments, signing forms, and swiftly moving out. Still can't drink or gamble, but you can fight in the military and vote for your government. Congratulations!". But all I know at this point is how to calculate the hypotenuse of a triangle, interpret Shakespeare, and predict chemical reactions. How the f*** do I fill out a tax form? Where the f*** do I find the laws surrounding tenant rights that apply when living on the top floor of a subletted house with 3 other hooligans? Who the f*** even are the government and why am I, an adult with no adulting ability, voting for them?

How Compatible Is Urban School Reform With The Neighborhood Revitalization?
How compatible is urban school reform with the neighborhood revitalization thrust, and how can revitalization efforts in urban communities support the work of the public school? Three perspectives frame the movement toward coordinated children’s services: a new sense of "ecology" that school, family, and community are vitally interdependent; a recognition of the need to build the "social capital" of families and communities; and a call to end the extensive fragmentation in service delivery. The community revitalization approach focuses on family self-sufficiency and independence through employment, a renewed encouragement of private investment in urban communities, and a locally or grassroots-driven strategy of action.

I Dropped Out of College
My future has never seemed very bright. I dropped out of college more than once, which I'm positive disappointed my family. I suffer from depression and anxiety, and bipolar disorder. But I try my hardest not to let it stop me from doing what I want to do, which is get an education. I currently study at my own pace online, through a coding website. I love anything tech related, or computer related. It helps me challenge my brain and makes me realize I'm a lot smarter than I let myself believe.

Homeschooling, the good, the bad, and the ify.
You've been all over the web, searching for this one answer and were you able to find it? No, you probably didn't find an exact "yes" or "no" answer. Most don't, but I'm not here to give you a "yes" or "no" to your answer. I'm here to help you create an answer for yourself and to tell you about what homeschooling meant to me as a young adult. It all started back when I was only 6 years old, I had finished my first year of school. I was excited and was about move onto the next year of schooling. When all of a sudden, someone knocked on the classroom door. To my shock, it was the principle, he wore neatly straighten jeans and his shirt covered almost all of his body. On the other hand he was considerably tall and slim however his finger nails seemed like claws and he never cut them. He almost always had some sort of depressing angry look to him. I always tried avoiding him if I could and making as little eye contact as possible while remaining at least 3 metres away from him. Though, this time it was different when he came through the door, he ignored the rest of the class and then just stood there. Silently starring at me, as an eagle stares at its prey. I knew something was wrong and I could feel it, he would never just come up to me and casually greet me. No, there was something off about him that time. He cleared his throat then began to speak, "Hey there sport, your parents and I had a little discussion about you-" It was at that moment when I knew, there had to be something wrong, but what? "Hmph, I casually but happily mumble back to him.", "Your parents decided to pull you out of school, for your own good." For my own good? I quietly said to myself. What part of removing ones education is for "their own good"? I wondered. "It's ok sport, I understand you must feel a bit confused to why your parents are doing this.", "Yes, why are they doing this-" My question gets interrupted. I see my parents slowly but surely making their way through the door. "Hey Joel." Says my father happily. "Did you hear the news?" What news? I answered confusedly. "Oh, me and your mother have some extra free time on our hands and we thought that it would be a great idea if we homeschooled you instead!" My heart suddenly dropped and I was scared for what the future had install for me. However, over time I came to actually enjoying homeschooling. It was a first, I never really thought I would enjoy doing homeschooling over normal schooling, but then I did! Now over 8 years later I'm still very grateful to both of my parents for believing in me and pushing me to my limits. Trust me, homeschooling is worth the effort! Oh and parents out there, don't just take my word for it, try it out yourself. You'll be glad you did it.
