Signs You Were Homeschooled
Facebook

Not everyone has the standard public school experience. The movies usually depict homeschooling unfavorably, casting the kids as anti-social outcasts. Many do not realize the homeschooling experience actually allows you to make lifelong friends while learning in a more flexible, stress-free setting. Children go into high school fully equipped academically and socially after their homeschooling. But then again... there are just some things that truly differentiate homeschoolers from "the normal kids".

1. You’ve been to pretty much every museum in your state.

2. Your mom found the strangest tours to go on (i.e bagpipe factory, the house of a lady who collects buttons, the house of a guy who makes boomerangs).

3.You might have been a part of a robotics team, or at least went to the competitions as a little sibling.


4. You learned how to teach yourself with friends.

5.You learned how to entertain yourself without friends.

6.You thought of public school as jail.

7. Everything was a field trip and learning experience.

8.You never knew why everyone else hated Mondays.

9.Sleepovers on school nights were a normal thing.

10.You have incredibly close friends from your homeschool group.

11.You learned how to include everyone.

12.You know not all homeschoolers are like the Duggars.


13.You are a little awkward, even when you try to keep it contained.

14. But you know you would be a completely different person if you weren't homeschooled. You are Homeschooled and proud.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.
