Home schooling.

Many times I'm asked "Young lady,why are not in school?" Well with lots of practice I have learned to say, I am. Some will laugh and say no I mean "SCHOOL."Some will even say it slower for me like I don't understand what sssssscccccchhhhhhooooooolllll is. Then very nicely I tell them I homeschool. Then depending on who it is ,then may look down and relize that I'm wearing a long skirt ,and they'll node their head ,and walk away.Some will say "why?" don't you know how fun high school is ,and your missing so much.Do you even have to do work?
What they don't understand is I am learning so much at home ,and I enjoy school.But most importianly I learn stuff that I'll use in my life. This is my 2nd year homeschooling, and yet I have learned so much ,and like I say before I love it.I don't dread reading a book ,and I can work on the things I need to work on more. Instead of moving on without understanding any of it.
This year I am also getting the previlge of teaching my 3 year old brother.It's very fun ,and also helps me .Since I some day want to have childern of my own ,and it helps me bond with my brother.
I don't know why people look down on homeschooling as if it's a way to excape doing work ,and learning.When in fact your learning so much information that is useful too.
Although I may be missing out on dances ,and partying,and "high school" I get to be with my family everyday,and I can sit in front of my stove and read my history book.I can also have friends come over and learn something together,and have fun.
So Amen on homeshooling.
