What other myths of home schooling have you heard?
This is awesome! Loved it! I think you about covered it! Every time I see any of the kids from our homeschooling group doing these kinds of things, I always say, "Look at those poor, weird, unsocialized homeschoolers." :) Oh, but sometimes we do stay in our pajamas all day. We just call it our 'uniform' days.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it, April. Sometimes I think the non-homeschoolers are really the weird ones! Also, my apologies for such a late response. My "reply" button has been missing in action for quite some time, and I just today figured out how to get it back.
