The Fourteen Days of Homeschool
On the first day of homeschool, my neighbor said to me,
"Can you homeschool legally?"
On the second day of homeschool, the store clerk said to me,
"Are they socialized?"
On the third day of homeschool, a teacher said to me,
"Who will give them tests?"
On the fourth day of homeschool, my doctor said to me,
"What about P.E.?"
On the fifth day of homeschool, my sister said to me,
"YOU ARE SO STRANGE!"
On the sixth day of homeschool, my neighbor said to me,
"Why do you do this?"
On the seventh day of homeschool, my best friend said to me,
"I could never do it!"
On the eighth day of homeschool, my mother said to me,
"How long will you do this?"
On the ninth day of homeschool, my in-laws said to me,
"Look at what they're missing!"
On the tenth day of homeschool, my florist said to me,
"What about the prom?"
On the eleventh day of homeschool, the librarian said to me,
"They'll miss graduation!"
On the twelfth day of homeschool, the neighbor said to me,
"Can they go to college?"
On the thirteenth day of homeschool I thoughtfully
replied: "They can go to college, yes you can do this, they can have
graduation, we don't like the prom, we do it because we like it, they
are missing nothing, we'll homeschool forever, WE ARE NOT
STRANGE!,
We give them P.E., and we give them tests, they are socialized, AND
WE HOMESCHOOL LEGALLY!
On the fourteenth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me,
"How can I get started, why didn't you tell me, Where do I buy the
curriculum, When is the next conference, WILL PEOPLE THINK WE'RE
STRANGE? I think we can do this, If you will help us, and we'll
homeschool legally."
