YOU KNOW YOU'RE A HOMESCHOOLER WHEN...

You Know You're a Homeschooler When...

  • You forget your booster doses
  • You wake up for supper at 12:30 am and not worry about being late for school
  • You get the entire skating ring to yourself on a school mornings
  • You wake up at 4:30 am to pray and read the bible when you have a nightmare- then sleep in for the rest of the morning
  • You can study on one subject to your hearts content without worrying about the school bell
  • Your intelligence as a student is not graded with points
  • You get off-peak holiday bargains
  • You study at Botanical Gardens ( and get chased by a bunch of monkeys :P )
  • You dance to memorize the times tables
  • You teach your brother math with plastic soldiers on your bed
  • School is in the car when mum has an emergency to attend
  • People forget you study on public holidays
  • The world is your classroom
  • Your friends talk about exams and you go blank
  • You're in prayer meeting when others are in tuition
  • You read Little Women as English literature, when others read textbooks
  • Your two year old brother listens attentively to eight chapters of unabridged Pinocchio
  • You're asked to do things last minute because you're not in 'school'
  • Other kid's paintings are restricted to one art block...you have the whole Church wall
  • Your mum is cooking lunch, feeding your baby brother and teaching three different grades at once
  • You're shopping for Christmas presents when others are only thinking of Christmas presents....
