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.
