A funny thing happened yesterday:
We attended a wedding, and at the reception made small talk with one of the other guests and her husband. She asked about our daughter and where the nearest elementary school was, and that’s when it occurred to both of us – we had no clue. So my response was simply: “I have no idea.” My wife at least had the wherewithal to mention we were both homeschooled and planned on homeschooling our daughter as well.
It struck us both as hilarious that a) we care so little about sending her to a government prison school that we’ve never even bothered to pay attention to where it’s located; and b) how blunt our initial reaction was. As could be expected, the conversation took an abrupt turn and we never came back to homeschooling.
For a brief explanation of why people should homeschool themselves and their children, listen to Lew Rockwell’s latest podcast featuring Josh Taylor of Blimey Cow.
