The Questions All Homeschoolers Get Asked
Jane Marshall

Yes, I was homeschooled my entire life. And through the years, people have asked my siblings and I the same questions that I am sure many homeschoolers have been asked.

Here are just a few:

1. "Did you get to go to school in your pajamas?"


YES....most of the time I did, anyways. I could just wake up and go straight downstairs to "go" to school.

2. "Did you ever get to see people?"


"Well, there was this one time that my mom took me to the grocery store." But really, although I did not "go" to school, there are many groups people can get involved in outside of public school such as 4-H, boy scouts, girl scouts, and other community groups.

3. "Do you wish you had gone to public school?"


Hmmm, I have been asked this many times. Sometimes I think maybe just to get the experience, but I guess I was homeschooled for a reason, so I think I will stick with "no" for this question.

4. "Do you feel like you missed out?"

Did my siblings and I miss out on a few opportunities that public school kids have? Sure! But we also got opportunities that public school kids missed out on such as getting done with school early in the day or doubling up on lessons one day so we can take an extra field trip the next day. Yayyyy!

5. "So, you could wake up when you wanted to?"

I could wake up late, but I normally didn't since it was to my benefit to wake up early. The earlier I woke up, the earlier I got done.

6. "Did you go to prom in your living room?" (laughing while asking)

Ha ha ha ha. No.

Would I have liked public school? Maybe or maybe not. My homeschool education came with its challenges, but I do not think I or my siblings would trade it for the world.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.
