Home + School= Homeschool?

Home + School= Homeschool?

Education

Ever say something you didn’t mean in the slightest? Didn’t believe it for even a second and then it really
happened? That was me and homeschooling.

I remember the day I casually
informed a fellow public school teacher that if I ever had kids, I’d
homeschool them before I let them go to public school. Two very
important facts about me back then, 1) I didn’t plan on ever havin’ crumb snatchers of my own – ever. And 2) I would never, ever in a kajillion years want to be around them all day, all night, 24/7 if I did accidentally have any.

… and then it happened. Both things. Had a couple crumb snatchers and I homeschool. (Home educate for all you homeschool purist terminology snobs.) Guess what?
First Ever Public Fess:
I ab-so-freakin’-lute-ly love it! Homeschooling – that is. Well, I
kinda like the kids too. I guess it’d be a little weird without them
bitin’ my ankles all the live long day.
Here’s a perfect example of WHY.

Have you heard John Mayer play the guitar? Better yet, have you been lucky enough to attend one of his concerts so that you could actually watch him play the guitar? Ahhh, grace in motion.

Before going to his concert this summer, I listened to his music, but didn’t truly appreciate it. I mean, it was nice to have playing in the background, nice to sing along with occasionally, but didn’t exactly make me sit down and breathe it in, you know what I mean?

Then I saw him perform live. Oh. my. goodness…
