15 with Noah Allen: Talking about homeschooling, music and photography

Tell us about being homeschooled. What are the best and worst parts about it?

So to clarify about homeschooling in general, the reason I choose to be homeschooled (and the reason my parents gave me the opportunity) is that it gives me the ability to expand my worldview and mind. Why? Because I’m not taught what someone wants me to be taught but I can develop my own ideas about the world - it’s less consuming and more thinking.
