Back Yard Academy

• Nov. 26, 2006 - Ahhh, they grow up so fast!


I just had to blog about this because I knew you all would understand!  My best friend who also is homelearner (my favorite variation of the word!) went to pick up a friend of her oldest son's to play for the evening.  On the car ride to her house the boy (a third grade public schooler) said
"Hey, guess what!?"
She said "what?"
"I'm dating a FIFTH grader and I'm only in THIRD grade!"
She was aghast.
 She tried not to show her displeasure with this as she felt it wasn't her place.  She told me that she just said with a shakey voice "oh".
Now I'm sure it's innocent and he's picked up the term from somewhere along the way but it still sounds creepy.  During our conversation we both determined that our children (jointly 6,7, 9 and 10) didn't even know what "dating" meant let alone have any interst in it.  Thank the Lord.  Wow, is this what my kids are missing out on?  Thank God we still have the right to learn at home.

Amen! It's sad, isn't it? I had just typed a reply, but accidentally lost it when I forgot to enter the code. LOL Oh well.

I hope you enjoy your field trip! If you've not gone to Blennerhassett (sp?), that's a fun thing to do on the same day.

What Type of Homeschooler Are You?

Salvador Dali Melting clocks are not a problem in your reality. You are an unschooler. You will tolerate a textbook, but only as a last resort. Mud is your friend. You prefer hands-on everything. If your school had an anthem, it would be Dont Worry, Be Happy. Visit my blog: http://www.GuiltFreeHomeschooling.blogspot.com
