Re: Fictional Experiences You Can't Identify With

High school.

I was homeschooled on-and-off for all of elementary school, took part-time classes grades 8 and 9, entirely online school for grade 10, took half of grade 11 off and then went to a wilderness school for the rest of the year + grade 12, where I'm just about finishing up, having somehow managed to scrape up enough credits along the way.

So everything to do with typical public school experiences -- classes that aren't optional (you can't just... drop out of it's not working for you?), cafeterias, lots of homework, clubs, dances, proms.... anything that is typical of high school is pretty much completely foreign and baffling to me. With the added element of being Canadian so a lot of it is just USA-centric and I don't even know it, because I... don't have a basis of comparison....

(this was somewhat amusing when I went to seattle last month because someone asked what grade I was in and I said grade 12 and she was like "oh, you're a senior then!" no. i am not a senior, i'm a grade 12 (sort of) who goes to a wilderness school where grades are basically irrelevant anyway.)
