That’s Not How Any Of This Works
It’s safe to say most kids dread getting up early in the morning to hang outside waiting for the school bus. They hear about homeschooling and imagine it’s a free-for-all where they can sleep in and be released from the torture of homework. No more nagging teachers or hall passes or detentions.
This eight-year-old would be disappointed after a chat with one of the 3% to 4% of American kids who are homeschooled. They’d learn it’s not all baseball games and mom playing maid. Mom actually becomes the nagging teacher, and the kitchen table is likely your new desk without your best friends nearby, but at least they probably wouldn’t be forced to wear pants.
