Who doesn't love doing schoolwork in their pajamas?

5 Things Every Homeschooler Knows To Be True
Daily Signal

I've decided to take a break from my more "serious" articles to do a piece on homeschoolers. Being one myself, I understand the difficulties and awesomeness of being homeschooled in America. So here are five things that every homeschooler knows to be true...

5. Getting all your school work done so you could watch yet another "Veggie Tales" episode.

This is definitely true for Christian homeschoolers.It was just a given that you would watch a daily "Veggie Tales" after school. I mean, you can never sing along to "The Hairbrush Songs" too many times. And the chocolate bunny? Classic! Those human-like vegetables were like family!

4. Realizing you have a supermom who balances her jobs of mothering and teaching.

Your mom goes from teaching shapes to your little sister to teaching you algebra. Then, on top of that, she takes care of your needs like a great mother. After that, she grades your school work, prepares for tomorrow and wakes up to do it all over again. Wonder Women has nothing on homeschooling mothers!

3. All your best friends are from your local homeschool co-op.

Seriously, you meet the best and worst people through homeschool groups! Life-long friendships were grown there! I like to say that homeschoolers of the world have to unite. You know the old saying, "Birds of a feather flock together." That goes double for homeschool kids.

2. Waking up early to get school done by lunchtime.

Put the pedal to the metal and it really is possible to get Math, Latin, English and everything else down in time to sit down for a grilled cheese! But then, of course, there's the fact that you have to wake up long before the sun rises.

1. Doing school in your pajamas is the most awesome thing about school mornings!

My mom gave me an incentive for waking up at 6 am and getting good grades: doing school in PJs! Remember what I said about waking up before dawn to get school done early? This is what makes those crammed mornings more bearable.


Being a homeschooler can be the greatest time in life (or the worst, depending on which day you asked me...)! I am very thankful I had the chance to be educated at home. Now a freshman in college, I look back on my life as a homeschooler and I realize that my teacher loved me more than anyone else. Because of that, she was even more motivated to see me exceed not just in schoolwork, but also in life.

From sea to shining sea, the United States was uniquely positioned for an incredible Aurora Borealis display on Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024, going into Friday, Oct. 11.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
