The Pro's and Cons of being a Homeschooler

Mean Girls

I've come to the conclusion that there are many ups and downs to being a homeschooler. So today I'm going to do something fun and post all the pros and cons of Homeschooling from my experience. *rubs hands* If any Non-Homeschoolers are reading this, just bear with me, Okay?

Eleventh Doctor

PRO: You get to do school at home.

CON: You get pretty tired of your dining room table pretty fast.

PRO: You are never in school for more than a few hours because you never have breaks

CON: You think being in school until 2:00 completely takes away your day.

PRO: You're out of school before any one else in the neighborhood because you don't have random snow days or holidays. Ever.

CON: You never have snow days or Holidays.

PRO: All of your classmates, teachers and principles are family.

CON: All of your classmates teachers and principles are family.

PRO: You can do school whenever you want. You could start at 6:00 AM and no one would mind! (though who does that? Honestly.)

CON: Sometimes this means working on weekends..... yeah.

PRO: You can double up so your family can take a day off for field trips or shopping or picnicking.

CON: You can never call in sick for school. Ever. Unless you have, like, the flu. Then please, do math in bed.

PRO: You get to tell people you're homeschooled and watch their faces.

CON: You have to answer publicschoolers questions. (Are you allowed to listen to music??)

PRO: You can use cassette players and listen to the old radio shows and no one will judge.

CON: Actually, yeah, there's the judge-y but you can just toss your head and say, “Hey, I'm homeschooled.” and they'll leave you alone. But they might laugh.

PRO: You can read more books in a week than most publicschoolers do in a month, or even a year

CON: NERD!

PRO: NERD!

PRO: We tend to be geeks

CON: Not everyone likes Geeks. but oh well, sucks for them. 

CON: Publicschoolers can be super rude.

PRO: But it's all cool, I'm pretty sure they're just jealous.

CON: Jealous people love to hate.

PRO: You don't have to leave the comfort of your bedroom (or your pajamas) to do school

CON: Well I have to change my pajamas but I can stay in my room.

PRO: On the last day of 12^th grade I'm doing school in my PJ's. Because why has everyone done that but me??

CON: Doing school while the kids outside get to sled. What is with that?

PRO: You have some of the greatest friends ever, and they're all homeschooled too.

CON: You have no idea how regular schools works.

PRO: That last CON is more like a PRO but I'm running out of CON's.

PRO: MOVIE. NIGHTS.

CONS: “What's an Iphone?”

PRO: A childhood without technology. Seriously. I can't thank my parents enough for giving me that. (Does that make the other CON a PRO too?)

PRO: Game nights.

CON: Candy Land. (I'm getting desperate with Cons here.)

PRO: Family outings.

CON: ….. Diagramming.

PRO: Seriously some of the greatest field trips ever.

CON: never eating out.

PRO: You get all home cooked meals and they're the best anyway.

CON: You don't get to have Soda.

PRO: But who likes Soda all that much anyway? Okay, cancel that last CON. Soda is only good on occasion.

CON: Okay. I've got nothing.

PRO: The PRO's far out way the CON's.

Blimey Cow

TADA!!!! I hope you all enjoyed that!! Oh and I've decided to save my Tolkien post until November because my family is going to do an LOTR Marathon and I want to save it for that weekend.... maybe even do a blog part! (haha!) So.... yeah. Sorry. It's been mad here. I hate being the oldest at home. It really sucks. On the upside I am LOVING my research paper!!
