So growing up I was homeschooled which for my parents meant they bought the textbooks but didn’t actually do any teaching so I pretty much ignored all schooling took a diploma test when I was 18 and didn’t look back now I’m starting to feel like I missed out on learning so many things I would have gotten from an actual school, looking things up online helps but I’m just not sure where to even start so does anyone have any book recommendations for just general types of information I should probably know but wasn’t taught
