For smart-alecks: Why are you homeschooling?

[EmmaNZ]

Because I'm Superwoman...........................obviously!

[NancyNellen]

I home school so that the nosy folks in the neighborhood will have something real to gossip about - it's a public service, really.

 

Oh, and so that I can use all those beautiful and VERY modest denim jumpers in my closet.

[Nakia]

 

I'm having a torrid affair with the principal. :001_wub:

 

 

 

My favorite response so far!!! :D

[FlockOfSillies]

I homeschool because when I grow up I want to live in the loony-bin.

 

:lol:

 

I homeschool because I RUN the loony-bin.

[homeschoolmom]

I home school because I needed something to do with my time.

 

I mean I was really under utilized. Working full time, managing my household and being a wife and mother just wasn't enough.

 

Well you said "smart aleck" ;)

 

Seriously? The girl was bored and I could see her going down the slacker path. I also found the constant peer influence less than desirable.

[arghmatey]

I tired of watching soap operas and drinking Jack and Coke all day by myself. My babies are great company while I do this all day long. Now I get to cuddle with them at the same time!

[Mom in High Heels]

1. Because otherwise I'd have to get a "real" job.

 

2. So I have someone to take out the dogs during the day.

 

3. So I don't have to deal with a PTA.

 

4. So I don't have to volunteer in a class with kids who are clearly not as intelligent as my kid.

 

5. So I can tell people I'm a teacher.

 

6. So I have someone help me carry in the groceries.

 

7. So I can get a teacher discount at certain book/hobby/craft stores.

[kchara]

So we can watch stuff like

and call it "education" :D

:lol::lol: Love it! I'm making a t-shirt that says this! I also have one planned for my husband that says "I'm sleeping with my kids' teacher." Unless someone knows a funnier way to put that?

[luvtheOzarks]

I'd have to get a "real" job if I didn't homeschool.

This one fits me to a "T"! :lol:

 

Horror of Horrors--a real job after 23 years as a SAHM!!:w00t:

[luvtheOzarks]

I also have one planned for my husband that says "I'm sleeping with my kids' teacher."

 

My husband just said he wants one of these!:smilielol5:

[luvtheOzarks]

We homeschool, so we can be like smart and stuff.

[iona]

we homeschool so that when the revolution comes I don't have to go round everybody up. we already "do school" i our underground siloh turned bomb shelter.

 

also, while we wait for that, who would change the dvd for our daily starwars/godfather/lordoftherings/lost/bonanza viewing marathons.

:lol: Every time DH and I start talking about what we're going to remodel next, he says, "When can I build my bomb shelter and Stargate?"

 

I'm sure if our kids went to school, they'd tell stories that someone would actually take serious and we'd have SWAT teams at the door.

[lionfamily1999]

We're homeschooling, because we don't like to share :p

 

They're MY dc and YOU can't have them!!!!!

 

:lol:

Oh, oh! Can we come use the Stargate????? We would love to do some off world travel. Me especially, as long as Daniel Jackson comes along. :D

[Forget-Me-Not]

I read that as "Jack Daniels" at first. . . LOL

[merry gardens]

I'm doing my part to help lower property taxes and reduce the national debt by saving the taxpayers the expense of educating my children.

 

Plus---did you all you math geniuses realize that despite all the tax money spent on public education-- about half of public school children score at or below the fiftieth percentile mark on standardized tests?

I want to rig our doorbell up to say, "Unscheduled Off-World Activation!"

[secular_mom]

I want to rig our doorbell up to say, "Unscheduled Off-World Activation!"

When you do that, will you tell me how to rig ours to say "You will be exterminated!"? :D

[theYoungerMrsWarde]

I want to rig our doorbell up to say, "Unscheduled Off-World Activation!"

 

My fil's cell phone voicemail tone is Worf from Star Trek saying "Captin, incoming transmission."

 

And I'm only going off world if Teal'c is my bodyguard :D

[Mom-ninja.]

:lol::lol: Love it! I'm making a t-shirt that says this! I also have one planned for my husband that says "I'm sleeping with my kids' teacher." Unless someone knows a funnier way to put that?

 

I once saw a man wearing a shirt that said, "I play with my baby's food."

[Snickerdoodle]

I homeschool to feed the control freak aspect of my personality.

 

:seeya:

[pdalley]

I want our doorbell to say 'Bazinga'. (Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory uses this as his 'gotcha'. He doesn't understand sarcasm, read faces or inflections well. He's sorta our school mascot.

 

( I freely confess none of my kids - except maybe Mr Square Roots at 7 - is nearly the genius the fictional Sheldon is)

[theYoungerMrsWarde]

Ummm, was the mom breastfeeding?

[justamouse]

because I need to lose the last brain cells I have left

[toddandleah]

Because I like to make the federal government uncomfortable
