We have a couple of family members and friends who homeschool. I like to talk to them about it whenever I can because I keep thinking that I'd like to try it with the Pipes and our future son - Herman McManus Casey. Most people worry about homeschooling because of the "lack of social interaction". They seem to be concerned about their children being different.
...Can I just ask - has anybody been around the average pre-teen and teenager? Why in the world would you NOT want your kid to be different? It's like from the movie Spanglish. The girl is talking to Adam Sandler about sending her daughter to this prep school. She says that if she sends her, one of two things will happen. She will either make herself to be like them or she will be odd. And then Adam Sandler says something like "You gotta be rooting for odd, right?" As Kaylyn would say... you cut to the core of me Baxter. Seriously, I would so rather she be odd than like the average kid. But maybe that's just me.
And for that matter, I went to school and I'll be darned if I wasn't one of the weirdest, oddest kids there.
The memories. Oh the awkward memories.
