chickenpatty Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I thought this was so funny! One boy asked, "Which do you like better, homeschool or public school?" Ds10 (who has always been homeschooled) answered that he liked homeschooling better. Another boy said, "I bet you like it because you get to eat all day and play video games." :lol::lol::lol: Um, yeah, whatever!:lol::lol: I hadn't heard that [mis]perception of homeschooling before.

Jumping In Puddles Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I have overheard my son tell people he only does a couple of minutes of school a day. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margo out of lurking Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Girls in my dd's 4-H club a few years ago had two questions: "What time do you get to start school?" "Do you get to wear pajamas?!" :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenpatty Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 LOL, by looking at him, you would think he never ate anything all day! He did tell them that no, he didn't eat all day and he didn't have any video games. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 My ds was 8 when he was asked what he liked best about homeschooling. He answered, "I don't have to wear any shoes." :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 The HS students on our kids Mock Trial Team asked if I would home school all of them. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo Ninja Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 We had neighbor boys who told my dc that they wished they were hsed because we get to do science experiments. Evidently the elementary school didn't do any science experiments, and the neighbors knew we did them every Friday. When Science Fair time came around each year, the boys would come over to look at and borrow our science experiment books so they could find a project to do.

Harriet Vane Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Both of my kids have been questioned by other kids. Last year ds' soccer team were converted when ds told them he gets to do his homework in his tree if he wants and that he takes soccer breaks frequently throughout the day. In dd's case, a bunch of girls were impressed and amazed when she told them she does most of her work lying in her hammock and sipping tea or cocoa. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXMary2 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 My favorite question asked by a public schooler, to my son was, "So, like are you a genius or something?" :lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Strawberry Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 My 8yo favorite part of school is that he doesn't have to get up early in the morning. That's my favorite, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 All the kids here seem to think that homeschooling means we just stay home and don't do any school at all! They tend to make comments to the effect that homeschooled kids don't know anything.... Weird.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesa Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Same here... people seem to think my kids have something wrong with them, and are behind in school... that MUST be why we homeschool. Oh yes, and my kids are stuck inside my house all day and never to go out in public. They need to go to PS to get a proper education, and socialization. Whatever. I'm tempted to buy a bumper sticker that reads "My homeschooler will someday employ your honor roll student." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
