You are reading this either because you ARE homeschooled, WERE homeschooled, KNOW someone who was/is homeschooled, or are just curious about these 'misconceptions' I talk about.
P.S. Shout out to all my fellow homeschoolers out there! I hope you made it through these misconceptions, and are able to laugh at them. Remember... #homeschoolersunite
15 Misconceptions About Homeschoolers
1. "Do you wear your pajamas all day?"
Well, only sometimes. Most of the time it works best to get ready for the day.
2. " Why aren't you in school?"
Well, actually I got up early and worked really hard to get my school done so I could have the rest of the day FREE.
3. "Do you have any friends?"
*MAJOR EYEROLL* Yes, of course I have friends. I don't live in a box.
4. " How do you socialize?"
What if I said... We socialize like everyone else!!
5. " You are homeschooled? You must be SUPER smart."
Thanks so much for the compliment... but tbh, we are probably just like anyone else our age.
6. " You are homeschooled? *child abuse*
There are always those people who will disagree with homeschooling on every level.
7." I bet your siblings are your only friends"
Pretty much. JK. They are our best friends though.
8. "YOU DON'T USE A PROJECTOR?!"
I had a friend in complete shock that we didn't use a projector. It didn't cross her mind that it was just me and my brother.
9. "I bet you get to sleep in until whenever."
In reality... mom: " Time to wake up!!!!!!!!! IT is the crack of dawn!!! Time to get up!!!!"
10. "You missed your high school experience."
I actually just missed all the drama! #yess
11. " How will you do well at College?"
Just cuz I was homeschooled doesn't mean I am not prepared for college work.
12." What grade are you in?"
THE MOST DREADED QUESTION EVER. "Well, I am 2 grades ahead in Science, but 1 grade behind in Math."
13. "Are't you supposed to have hair to your butt?"
Umm... No?
14. "Your homeschooled? You must be super modest."
Nothing wrong with being modest... But there is line between "homeschoolers" and "those homeschoolers."
15. "I wish I could be homeschooled"
Then it makes you feel good at the end of the day because all of your un-homeschooled friends beg their parents to homeschool them.
Hope you all enjoyed this! Also, special shout out to my homeschooled friends and family who helped me with all of these misconceptions!
