    They forgot to add "Arrange a play date or group outing to ensure socialization away from the light bulb."

    smile Excellent add, Kriston!!

    Of course this is after having to explain to the store clerk (and everyone else in the store) that "yes, you do homeschool and, yes, your kids do get plenty of socialization!"

    That's called afterschooling, and it is another form of homeschooling, spook. Welcome to the club! smile

    Or even beforeschooling... we nailed long division on the way to school today - tricky trying to explain where to put the remainder number etc when you're doing 100k's down back country roads smile boy do they ever stop asking questions and how do I do x, y, z?

    I used that joke in a talk I gave on homeschooling gifted kids. It was a big hit!

    I thought of Kriston's comment and chuckled when I saw this on the Kitchen Table Math blog.

    I think you guys need to stop calling it after-schooling. What you're doing IS homeschooling, it's just that the homeschooling gets interrupted by 6 hours of crafts and confusion.
