So E2 is going to a stage school in two months because they want to do “acting and television”
Tell me this is the parent’s dream and not the child’s.
Also it seems E2 wants everything E1 wants. Even adopted the same sort of fashion sense and hobbies.
The only reason E2 liked homeschooling was so they could play Roblox nearly all day, make more YouTube/Tiktok content, go to Starbucks and have 1 on 1 time with a tutor (you can get 1 on 1 support in any school) So out of 4, 3 things aren’t even school related.
I bet there’s plenty of good stories from homeschooling from people who have experienced it for sure, but surely there’s also downsides? Unless you’re enrolled into club’s and after school classes it must be pretty isolating and to not talk to anybody, but your parents all day, every day and if not them, just a tutor it would seriously be incredibly restricted. I was unemployed near the end of my teens at one point for months and days that I thought were fun at first, were so boring and had no meaning. It lost the novelty very quickly. I became very depressed as a result. I then went to a small apprenticeship college which had limited students and I didn’t hang out with anybody. That again, affected my social circle massively.
Also, I’m not trying to say this, but I mean some articles about stage schools aren’t great. I get any abuse can happen anywhere, but it’s quite common in acting schools from what I’ve seen. Also if you’re in performing arts. There’s plenty of creepy people that try and take advantage. I’ve seen the stories everywhere. All you have to do is see some of the poor Nickelodeon stars who were pushed into acting at a very young age with weirdos waiting to take advantage. It’s affected their whole careers and life as a result.
