I was obviously homeschooled and loved it! My kids will probably be able to say most of the above statements one day (minus the ones about Harry Potter and jean jumpers!).
Now, tell me how many of these "homeschooling truths" apply to you!

Loved it! Brought back memories:)Love Mom
ReplyDeletep.s. as you know, I own zero denim jumpers;)
This is pretty funny stuff, I really like it. Makes me sad that I wasn't homeschooled. If I ever have children, I want them to be homeschooled!, public schools are just getting worse. Anyways, great blog! :)
ReplyDeleteCan you guess which one made me want to explode with laughter?
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the jean jumpers! HAHA!
PBS was the only TV we even watched...I did cry when Mary Ingalls went blind...we did multiple days of school ahead for things like MSOP and Roundhouse...my classroom was my bedroom...musicals were on the top...A Beka versus Saxon were regular conversations since my mom had the bookstore...and yes, Mavis Beacon taught me how to type!
Oh my heck! I am so in love with this! We are homeschoolers and can so relate! Thanks for linking this up. Seriously just gave me the best laugh
