Carol in Cal. Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) No more denim jumpers. Sadly, no more hilarious waxing stories. No more basement classrooms. No more kilts. No, we are different now. We are all about monoliths, 2020 Bingo, hunting cats, Christmas light contests, and leggings are so pants. Luckily, we are still all about cinnamon rolls!

Eos Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 We used to be all about the one-room schoolhouse, multiple ages learning from each other, distanced learning was meh, not our thing. Now we're homeschooling high school, college, and grad school. Negotiating bandwidth is the new chore chart. 2 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 True. Now that a lot of people have quit the dresses-only for girls and khaki pants and golf shirts for boys, I’m not even sure what the uniform is anymore. For a little while, I thought jeans-with-tall boots, a turtle neck and a fluffy scarf was going to be our new uniform, but then some people disagreed on whether those could be immodest skinny jeans or not. So now I’m lost. 3 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Marmalade Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) Cinnamon rolls are rising on the counter right now! The Monolith has become so important to me, I'm planning on having DH build me one for the garden next spring. https://empressofdirt.net/garden-obelisk-ideas/ I feel like having something metal on top will better help me be able to communicate with the mothership.

Lady Florida. Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Is there a retired homeschooler outfit? What are the now young adult homeschool kids supposed to wear? Does the shopping cart/buggy/basket still matter? Can we wear shoes in the house or is that still a no-no? 5 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 My only son is graduating from college in the spring. Is it too early to start telling other homeschoolers "back in my day..."? Is it appropriate to mail copies of his forthcoming diploma to everyone who judged our homeschooling efforts and said he'd last two weeks in college [looking at you, particular family member]? Is anyone writing the "history of 2020" unit study yet? 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I don't think a homeschooling uniform is complete without pajamas. Even if we don't actually wear them all day, others seem to think we do. I think we should embrace it. 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the same week as the desert monolith anyway.😁 My zombie minks were more in the week of the possible markers for life on Venus. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can send his graduation announcement, along with a nice photo of him in cap and gown! :-) Mark it "No gifts, please, but we welcome you to share the joy of graduations and new horizons!" so they are clear it is not a request. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost burst out laughing when he brought them over. I plan on disguising the beacons under clematis. 3 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea! And for me (last kiddo is doing all online community college for senior year) it's grown kids moving back in, with dh and I both working from home....so polar fleece pants with business shirts, LOL. And yes, we may have to pay for faster internet access with 3 of us online all the day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're referencing the monolith that is NOT in my neighbor's yard (which has sadly turned into just a boring but weirdly huge lighthouse), one just appeared in the Utah desert. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/monolith-found-utah-red-rock-country/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
