Another awesome post from "Ordinary Time" Guest Blogger....
(I was in charge of my homeschool support group’s most recent meeting. Since I’m not overly fond of meetings on the whole, I like to liven them up a bit. This was the result.)
We all know the reasons we give to others as to why we homeschool: positive socialization, individualized education, efficiency, flexibility, etc. But, we all know there are other motivations, as well. Here they are, the top 10 reasons people homeschool, but don’t admit to anyone:
10. Because you get educator discount cards to stores you really like.
9. Because you don’t play well with others.
8. You don’t enjoy packing lunches.
7. It gives you an excuse to buy yet more books.
6. You need to occupy your time somehow. Because, truly, what would you do if your children were gone for 6 hours a day?
5. You really do enjoy fielding questions from complete strangers regarding your family’s educational choices.
4. It gives you an excuse to eat vast amounts of cookies all in the name of teaching the concept of fractions to your children.
3. Your extended family already thinks you’re the crazy one, why stop now?
2. This way no one will ever ask you to be on the PTA and to help organize school fundraisers.
1. Because you didn’t really need the money which pays the property taxes which fund the public schools which you don’t use.
