The Fourteen Days of Homeschool

I know, everyone has seen this. Just bear with me....

On the first day of homeschool, my neighbor said to me, "Can you homeschool legally?"

Homeschooling is legal in ALL 50 states. Regardless of what your friend or neighbor heard in the news or what HSLDA's most recent "alert" aluded to.

On the second day of homeschool, the store clerk said to me, "Are they socialized?"

No, and that's the point!! Seriously people!! Look up the definition of that word!!!!!

On the third day of homeschool, a teacher said to me, "Who will give them tests?"

Well, I suppose I could but tests are a tool used to access the knowledge of a large group. We aren't a large group....

On the fourth day of homeschool, my doctor said to me, "What about P.E.?"

Unfortunately we don't limit our physical activity to the 15 minutes following lunch. I will really have to get on them to stop moving around so much!!!

On the fifth day of homeschool, my sister said to me, "YOU ARE SO STRANGE!"

I still don't get what this has to do with homeschooling.

On the sixth day of homeschool, my pastor said to me, "Why do you do this?"

Because I can and because it works.

On the seventh day of homeschool, my best friend said to me, "I could never do it!"

Well, not with that sort of attitude!

On the eighth day of homeschool, my mother said to me, "How long will you do this?"

As long as it still works!

On the ninth day of homeschool, my in-laws said to me, "Look at what they're missing!"

Sorry, but you are going to have to elaborate on that. I really don't see anything they are missing. Unless you are talking about the over medication, special ed classes, labeling, bullying, holding back, being told they are bad kids and an education system not suited to their individual needs.

On the tenth day of homeschool, my florist said to me, "What about the prom?"

One, they are 7 and 9. Two, prom sucked. Three, they have homeschool proms.

On the eleventh day of homeschool, the librarian said to me, "They'll miss graduation!"

Again...One, they are 7 and 9. Two, graduation sucked. Three, they have homeschool graduations.

On the twelfth day of homeschool, the reporter said to me,"Can they go to college?"

Duh!


OK, I didn't include the rest of the song because I don't like it. Maybe I will write my own ending....
