There’s nothing like a little humor to liven up your day, right?
Humor helps to break the monotony of your homeschool routine (if you have one).
It brings a sparkle to an otherwise dull day.
It relieves stress.
It’s absolutely essential for keeping you from going crazy (especially while homeschooling).
That’s why I felt inspired to create these two funny lists of reasons to homeschool. At least, I hope they’re funny. Enjoy!
Parents’ Top Ten Reasons to Homeschool
Parents, these are your top reasons for homeschooling.
- You get to spend hours shopping for all kinds of fun educational books and toys to play with, er…I mean for your kids to play with.
- You can teach your kids to pray in school without getting fired. (You can get a few bonus points in heaven for that)
- Your children can bring a knife to school without getting expelled. In fact, they can bring anything to school without being expelled.
- You get to learn subjects like Algebra, Biology, and Trigonometry all over again, only better this time. (You loved those subjects anyways, right?)
- You get to decorate your house with science experiments and art projects. (Perfect for the cover of Better Homes and Gardens)
- You get to explain to people hundreds times why you homeschool. (Maybe they’ll catch on someday)
- You know that your kids are actually learning something.
- You get to experience the wonderful stares and glares from people who see you and your kids out shopping during a school day. (Yes, as a matter of fact we do homeschool. Do you have a problem with that?)
- The only drugs your kids will be exposed to are in the medicine cabinet…and they’re LEGAL.
- You’ll have learned enough to have a degree in Education by the time all of your kids graduate. (Or at least a degree in Home Education)
Kids’ Top Ten Reasons to Homeschool
Kids, here are your funny reasons for homeschooling.
- Your school lunches are actually delicious and nutritious.
- You don’t have to get up early to catch a bus. (You don’t have to get up early to catch anything except maybe cows if you’re on a farm)
- You don’t have to raise your hand to speak.
- You don’t have to do school at the same desk all day. You can do it on the couch, in your bed, on the deck, on a haystack in the barn, in the front seat of the car, even in the bathtub (if it’s dry).
- You don’t have to worry about forgetting your assignments at home because you already are home.
- You don’t need to ask for a pass to go to the bathroom. (You don’t have to ask for a pass to go anywhere)
- You can do school in your PJs. You can even do school in your swimsuit if it’s not 40 below zero.
- You can get grades for doing weird things like cooking dinner (that’s Home Ec.), taking care of a garden (that’s Science), and fixing your mom’s computer. (that’s…I don’t know what. Make something up.)
- You can bring your pet to school every day like Mary. (Unless, of course, it’s a horse because that might make a mess in the living room.)
- The only bullies you have to worry about are your older siblings. (And they get disciplined for that…you hope)
