Reason #57

Recently I had to fill out some forms that asked the name of the school which my children attend.  Here in Arizona you don't have to have a 'school' name, but it does come in handy on occasion.  For a long time we were the L(ast Name) Academy for the Mentally Ungovernable.  (LAMU)  It fit.  But then I realized being mentally governed is alright – as long as you are fully aware and in agreement with what it is that’s mentally governing you.  I then shifted to the L(ast Name) Academy for the Autodidactic.  Much better.

Of course, later I was asked about it and again had to diplomatically respond. 

For those of you who know me personally, STOP LAUGHING, I can too be diplomatic!

Upon return home I started thinking that I really need a pamphlet to hand people that will educate them, while leaving me free to get on with my day and not be stuck explaining our decisions or dodging the barrge of questions and comments that are guaranteed to ensue.

Then I read this.

I think the NEA offers excellent content supporting the cause of home education.

And they aren't smart enough to know it.

And they're educating the public at large!

Ironic, isn't it?

Thankful to be home,

Mrs. L
