Mostly from overpriced field trips that the parents couldn't even attend because they weren't allowed to bring the little ones in their family along as well. Then school supplies, classroom supplies that seem teachers require the first week of school, income lost from having to miss work for sick days, conferences, etc. Homeschooling being expensive is just as funny as the thought process that homeschoolers must be rich in order to successful homeschool. Money doesn't equal a quality education. <br /><br /><br />#3: I actually heard right after we had moved here remark the following: "What am I going to do with them home all day for the summer!" And then her and another mother went on to complain about the hassle of summer vacation. Which just floored me as I stood in the community parking lot listening to such...dislike for ones children with her children in total earshot! It makes sense why these children act the way they do. Yes my children can drive me crazy and I'm sure there are times I drive them crazy, but why on Earth give birth if you don't want anything to do with them? That is always what I come back to when I hear it. It's like well why have them if you are just going to hand them over at six years old? <br /><br />With #5 I think I would probably laugh in the persons face if they said that. Because the thought of someone not being smart enough to get a child through elementary school at least is just...funny. Especially since they would have to get this individual to adulthood regardless if they homeschool or not. <br /><br />And #6 I sure as hell hope so!! Weird is beautiful. :)Rholmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16563042593918868331noreply@blogger.com
