What is the transition from home school to public school like?

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009



I’m writing a story, and one of my characters has been home schooled all her life and, due to her mother’s career change, has to start public high school as a freshman. Does the curriculum differ? How does one adapt to the social structure of public school? Do home schooled kids ever feel “sheltered” compared to their public school counterparts? I would appreciate help from anyone who has gone through a similar transition.
