I have been homeschooled all my life. There has been just a little bit of curriculum in there. And all of a sudden this year I'm going to online school, with an expected 4 hours of work a day. I am repeating the same grade over (I started school a year early so I'm not really), so I can get used to the workload and all that. I have always been very free and never really done more than 2 hours of schoolwork. So. Any advice? I'm really nervous!! Has anyone ever been to an online school before? What was it like? Thanks all.

As long as you can keep motivated to do it, you should be fine. If you've been homeschooled, you'll probably have the right habits already. It's not too much different, honestly, from what I've heard. I've taken online classes before and I'm not particularly well-suited to them because I can't motivate myself and I'm used to seven-hour school days in a classroom.

I think you'll be fine.

You will do fine as long as you keep up with your assignments and not procrastinate.

Homeschooling and unschooling are different methods, homeschooling follows curriculums and really is just school at home. Unschooling is extremely little curriculum mostly learning from life, spending lots of times searching up on any subject you want, maybe a science and math curriculum, it is very free.
I'm going from that to 5 hour school days. Guess I wasn't clear there.
