I love hair cuts because I usually get a hairdresser who is having school issues with their kids, and I get to talk up homeschooling! When I was in high school I attended one school for 9th and 10th grade, then transferred to a new (smaller) town. The counselor in 11th grade put me in Amer. Lit and composition. I told him that was what I had in 10th grade. He replied that "all juniors must take it." Yes, I repeated a class I had already aced. Needless to say, I got an A the 2nd time too. Even the books were the same that we had to read! What a great story!

It seems to me homeschooling gives kids a kind of confidence that schooled kids don't have. They don't have a problem speaking up. Schooled kids are all told to be quiet and do what they are told to do, homeschooled kids are never told that!

Friday, we went on our first field trip with a homeschool group to visit a historic home. The guide asked the children several questions about local history and many did not answer. Some I happen to know were a bit shy but all were very well behaved. The guide turned to the children and said, "I have just lost my respect for homeschooling. This is why you kids need to be in public school". I had to do everything to control my temper. I respectfully set her straight however and hopefully made her think of her behavior.
