Are You Going to Home School?
When people ask Tom and I if we are going to home school the girls while we are away, Tom and I always have to wait for our hearts to resume beating after the moment of sheer terror passes. NO, we are not going to home school. Reasons are below:
- School is how you get rid of, I mean socialize, your kids.
- They never listen to us, so I can’t imagine them starting once we arbitrarily declared ourselves “teacher.” Anyone with kids can tell you that parents rank down around, oh, I don’t know, armadillos, in terms of the stock our children put in our knowledge. Pretty much any first grader on the playground is given more cred than we are.
- The wee ones are supposed to be learning the language (that would be Spanish) while we are there.

see? you said never. the universe doesn’t like that 🙂
Don’t remind me, then I’ll have to think about all of the other stuff I said “never” about!
Good reasons to home school. Believe me, if we could trust the public system here in NC – we would. Nothing like the real deal to learn the language. I studied French for three years but learned more in ten visits to Paris than I ever did in class! Finally, do not sell yourself short – if you had to or needed to home school – you would do it well. I know that my post is late – but just wanted to share an opinion, mine, that’s all! Cheers!
Thanks for your feedback Paul. It’s always nice to get positive support!
