I totally don't have time to blog today, so again...listen quick!

Our support group had its quarterly meeting last night.  Last quarter, all the parents stood up in turn and stated what they love about homeschooling.  It was VERY encouraging and uplifting---quite the little pep rally.   Well, that same concept took a different spin last night, as our CHILDREN took turns walking across the stage holding posters stating why THEY love homeschooling.  I thought you might enjoy some of their reasons:

I get to be with my parents all day.

It's fun and Godly!

Fieldtrips, fieldtrips, Cici's pizza....and more fieldtrips!

I get to stay up and watch the Super Bowl...and sleep in until 10!

I get to play with my sisters.

I get to explore my passion...Robotics!

My principal is like a father to me...and I get to practice my gift of drumming!

I get to do my schoolwork in my PJ's (you KNEW that one would come up...and more than once!)

I love homeschool drama, ice skating and dance!

And the ones from my kids:

Gameboy:     My mom and dad read books to us.

Horsegirl:     Britney who?

 Okay, that last one was her father's idea, so it's really what WE like about HER homeschooling.  While parents are complaining on Fox News that their 10 year old daughters want to sing, dance and dress like Britney Spears, our sweet, innocent 10 year old daughter doesn't know anything about Britney Spears.  So in response to that oh-so-lame argument I've heard that "you can't shield them forever," (which drives me nuts, because implicit in that statement is that if you can't shield them forever, you shouldn't bother shielding them AT ALL!), we say,

Maybe not....but we can shield them NOW!
