Okay, but like, can you imagine? Peter’s tired after protecting his city every night and is falling asleep in classes so his grades start falling. Not really, not his actual grades, the his participation grades which are always stupidly weighted. Plus he’s been missing a ton of classes and whole days out when he gets called away on Important Avengers Work or just Normal But Still Important New York City Protection Work. And school just won’t stand for that.
To top it all off, poor lil spidey-boy’s been getting bullied. And while he’s a big boy and can handle it pretty well, he’s still human and a teen and getting called Penis Parker all day just gets annoying when combined with PILES of homework and catchup work, asshole teachers breathing down his neck, and poor grades because he’s not participating to the asshat teachers’ liking starts taking its toll.
And Tony knows. And he knows he’s partly responsible. Give a kid a suit and he’s gonna want to go out and protect his city. He can’t ask him to stop going out. Give a kid an Honorary Avenger’s Card and he has to go where the Avenger’s go most of the time. Only a true asshole would revoke that.
And so Tony pulls out the big guns. Peter B. Parker is getting homeschooled. And, who’s more freaking qualified than a bona-fide genius and his super genius friends? Not that they really need so many teachers. Homeschooling isn’t getting privately tutored by fellow Avengers. Peter is as smart as they come, and teaches himself most of what he needs to know acoording to state standards. Science IS done with Bruce, though, if it’s something like chemistry or physics and they want to get down and nerdy with it and create some cool and dangerous stuffs. Tony helps… if he’s allowed.
And who better to teach history than people who have gone through it themselves? Sure, Peter plugs away at his textbooks and tests, but when he has to write a report with citations who better to go to than Captain freaking America Steve Rogers for facts about WWII? And of course, Bucky’s right there giving him the “real facts.” Although… MLA citing two avengers is a bit… tricky.
And it gives Peter more time to do what he likes, and not just go out protecting. He has time for martial arts and training and sparring and battle practice. He expiramented with art a little bit. Instruments. Dabbled in a couple different languages. Of course, not everything stuck with him. The acoustic guitar has become a coathanger and the small engine repair kit wasn’t as interesting as it had looked before.
It also lets him hang out more with his mentor and learn more electric work, programming, inventing, engineering stuffs, and all that fun stuff Tony adores and Peter wants to learn. It’s the best of both worlds, of all worlds. And better still, PETER CAN NAP IF HE NEEDS TO. And do school in his pajamas, which is fucking awesome.
But seriously, breaking the wall here and honestly asking, why isn’t Peter being homeschooled by Tony Stark???????????????
it’s dangerous to go alone. take this
you know what? go to your local library.
nobody cares if you just want to read Twitter with the free wifi. in fact we’re ecstatic you’re there.
don’t be afraid to touch the books. hell, taking them off the shelf and leaving them on shelving carts is one of the main ways the library counts usage and foot traffic, so don’t reshelve them yourself and don’t be afraid of looking at them!
most libraries now allow covered drinks, and many have special areas where you’re allowed to bring something to eat. have your lunch there, it’s quiet!
lovely large tables for crafts or art? they have you covered!
magazines and periodicals so you can read the newest events or pick up a new recipe? check!
you can even just watch a DVD if you have the appropriate portable screen and courtesy headphones.

Here are some reminders to myself. Hopefully, they are also helpful to some freshmen or anyone who’s curious:
1. University is not school.
You can’t shilly-shally around, take your sweet time and expect to just roll with it. Trust me, you will be in for a rude awakening. Find a goddamn studying method early in and stick with it. Flashcards and quizlets, whatever works for you. The deadlines and exams will draw closer faster than you think they will.
2. Your profs are not decoration.
Ask. Questions. Seriously. And go to office hours if you have any particular problem to resolve. Make use of that time. A lot of them will actually be thankful anyone is showing up. Against popular belief, professors indeed do make a mental note of a lot of their students. Don’t be one of those 20 people standing infront of their office for the first time a week before the exam.
3. Get as much work as possible done until noon.
It’s 12 and you have already studied for three and a half hours? Amazing. Look, I know, I am not a morning person either. But at least try it out. Get your sleep schedule in check. It will feel so much better than to procrastinate until evening and then you HAVE to do it anyway.
4. If you can explain it, you have understood it.
Done studying? Bet you’re not. Try explaining yourself the material loudly like teaching it to a clueless person. Or get yourself a study buddy and explain your subjects to each other. It’s even better if you don’t have the same majors. If you are able to explain the topic and have the other person understand it, you actually know the topic. If not, you now know where the shoe pinches. It’s also great practice!
5. You may feel a bit lonely at first.
Okay, I don’t want to scare anyone. I did find a lot of friends. Especially at first, everyone is your friend. Because everyone is scared of missing the boat and feeling left out. There will be so many people around you. Still – or maybe that’s the reason – you will probably feel a bit lonely at first. I want to tell you that this is normal. It’s because everyone is still a stranger to you and maybe you’ve just moved out! Maybe you are far away from home for the very first time. I’ve struggled with this. That’s fine! Everything will be fine. You will feel at home eventually.
I hope everyone is doing well. Take care! :)
