Could you describe what you mean by "home schooled" a little more. For example:
>I was able to do things like take the day off of school to copilot with my uncle
// Confuses me because when you're copiloting with your uncle you're being home-schooled; you're not having the day off from education you're just doing it differently (right!).
Presumably where you are just being educated at home doesn't fit the definition of "home schooled"?
You're right. In a way, I was able to get school out of the way so I could learn.
There are still requirements to meet. We had standardized testing every year, and coursework to complete. My point is that I could get the formal stuff out of the way at my own pace, and actually do interesting things like learn about aerodynamics first-hand. At a public school, this would have been more difficult to do.
Gives the legal requirements in the UK. We don't have requirements to sit exams or do specific pieces of work (coursework) as long as "full-time education" is provided.
