Joanne Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 One of my jobs takes place in a bar. Saturday, while waiting for my crowd, I was talking with the waitress assigned to my crowd. I was planning school and she asked about it. A young man from next door, the tattoo place, came over. This young man had an alternative haircut, an embedded piercing, other piercings and more tats that I could count. He is one of the tattoo artists. His son is in a magnet school. It sounded awesome! When the waitress told him I homeschooled, he began a bizarre tirade against that as a choice. I presented it as a choice among many. And he staunchly defended public school as the only valid choice. :lol::lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
