HappyGrace Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 The ones at Cafe Press are kind of boring, so I want to make up my own slogan. Something more savvy and sophisticated and intelligent (but still fun) than what they have there. (I did kind of like the one that said in Latin "If you can read this, you were probably homeschooled" but that would go over the general public's head!) I also kind of liked "Homeschooling-a requirement of the public school curriculum" but thought it might be a little too much of a slam! I was going to think of one with WTM, but most people won't get what that is. Let's have fun thinking some up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardening momma Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Would the shirt be for you, or for one of your dc? I went to Cafe Press, did a search on "homeschool" and there are over 13,000 products. Are you sure you didn't see one you like? :D ETA: I'm on page 2 of the list, and I like the one that says... Homeschool Rules! -Don't raise your hand -Get out of your seat -Talk in class -Chew gum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 There's No school like Home School.... I actually had a shirt that said that when I was homeschooled... My mom mad up the song.... went to.. "There's no business like show business..." Carrie:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGrace Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 For me. And I really didn't like any of the ones on there. They were too cutesy and I want something a little more savvy/intelligent. I want to make a statement, make people think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseOwlKnits Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 The heart of a parent is a child's classroom. I'm not talking to myself, I'm having a parent-teacher conference. (I always liked this one!) The revolutionaries will be home-schooled. What about listing off a bunch of people who were homeschooled? People like Thomas Edison...

Dawn E Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Here's one from Ree, Pioneer Woman: "Homeschooling--There's No Substitute" She posted this at some point on her blog and said someone should make a t-shirt...don't know if anyone did, but you could. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardening momma Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I did a web search... Here I found some quotes on education. Maybe you can use one. I liked: By learning you will teach. By teaching you will learn. -Latin proverb Whatever is good to know is difficult to learn. -Greek proverb What greater or better gift can we offer the republic than to teach and instruct our youth? -Cicero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Just want to say I think these are GREAT! The not as socially awkward one has me rofl! Maybe something like, "All our work is homework" or something like that. You might check out the Facebook Flair page--they have some homeschool buttons that are pretty good.

muffinmom Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Here are some I found interesting on Facebook Pieces of Flair: Civilized is better than socialized. My school is so private you have to be born into it. :P One good mother is worth 100 school masters. Mom is my teacher--save the apples and bring the chocolate.

Sebastian (a lady) Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I like that one!How about the word homeschool in different languages. (Like the xmas cards with 'Merry Christmas' in other languages) Can anyone tell me how to write homeschool in some other languages? Just curious. German has a couple of terms: Schule zu Hause Schulunterricht zu Hause Bildung zu Hause Hausunterricht zu Hause has a meaning like "at home." Schule is school. Schulunterricht means something more like school lessons or education. Bildung is the word used for education (in the sense of education ministry) or preparation for a qualification. However, Schulunterricht zu Hause is also the name of a homeschooling advocacy group in Germany. I've also seen Hausunterricht, which is a nice parallel term to homeschooling. Ironically I've read and heard "homeschooling" used in German. I once tried to explain that the children were educated at home (in German) and the other person nodded and said, "Ah, homeschooling."

hsmom3tn Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I didn't make them up, but I like these: - Home civilized is better than school socialized. - "It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education." - Albert Einstein - "The idea is to educate, not follow anyone's schedule about when something should be studied." ~Ray Drouillard - "In the first place God made idiots. This was for practice. Then He made school boards." - Mark Twain (he has several, but they're probably all too snarky for a shirt) okay, so this one is not necessarily about homeschooling, but I would so wear this on a shirt: "When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes." - Erasmus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
