Creative Homeschooling is...Thinking Out-of-the-Box!

Satirical Silly - School Daze!


Here is my stab at a satirical cartoon...only mine is a photo. As you probably noticed from my blog, I love to create graphics, Adobe Photoshop is my friend!
 
I often drive by the High School when the kids are getting out. Usually we see the array of belly baring girls, body piercing and lots of smoking going on. Well, today we got a real treat...a bust by Juvey (my cool word for Juvenile Corrections). I superimposed my Picketing in to make a point...I'm really not that brave to actually stand there with a picket sign! Oh, and while I was at my graphic wonders, I shed a few pounds off my inner thighs! In real life there is not much space above the knees, although I am working hard to change that (see post on glass beads/weight loss). Hey, if the super models can do, why can't I?
 
When we were posing for this picture, my very intelligent children with great critical thinking skills kept saying, "why are we doing this, why are we holding sticks in the air???" I said, "it's too hard to explain, just hold up those broom handles!"...just one of mommy's hair brained ideas again..

I have a few more of these Satirical Sillies up my sleeve, so check back soon!

Yes it is sad. My youngest ds (5) kept saying, "so, they're going to take him to kid jail?' He was really bothered by it. Not sure what he did but there were fire trucks going into the school at that time.

I've tried to do that with my hips in one photo and it just didn't come out like yours.

Great satirical sillies.

You're a nut! Love the part about them having to hold broom handles in the air. I still can't get my program to print text, though it works on Brad's. Ugh!

Oh! And I figured I just can't comment on your account if I'm not logged in first! Hehe.

Yes, you cannot comment on my blog unless you are signed in . It changed the settings to that. The reason? If someone wants to flame me, they are going to have to do it with a face...errr a user identity I mean.

why I just shake my head and laugh when they ask why I don't just send my kids to school! Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you were able to benefit with your children helping with some tasks. Have a blessed day.

Wow! That's getting a little up close & personal. Usually we just read about these things in the paper, but to see this happening in your own neighborhood is a little scary... and sad. Loved your graphics! Gets the point across really well!

That's really neat how that you were able to make your thighs smaller. Check out my blog to see how I was able to take off a few inches. :-)

Mar. 26, 2006 - What's really going on in the picture?

Posted by wardssward
We live about 5 blocks from a Junior High school. There is always a police car parked in the parking lot during school hours. If I'm not mistaken, they have full time police officers that patrol local High School as well. It gives one the impression that the school house is a prison. That's why I ask, "What's really going on in the picture?" Are they bringing the student to school, or taking him away?"

It is a sad state of affairs. There have been students bringing guns to school and in the town we now live in, there have been cases of students shooting students in the past 10 years. -Norman
