Schooled at Home...?
April 28, 2015
To be social,
Must I be in a room
for hours
hours
with 20 people my age?
To be friendly,
Must I have absolutely
everything
in common with
everyone
I come into contact with?
To be beautiful,
Must I be a carbon copy
of all my schoolmates?
I am social,
because the bonds I form
are tight and close
with family and friends
I am friendly,
because I love people
even though I'm not
pressed in from all sides
by them.
I am beautiful,
because I care about people
from my home
from my heart
No public school can create
things
as
this.

I am a proud homeschooler who argues that we are not nerds (at least most of us aren't), we aren't anti-social; in fact, the opposite is usually true. Most homeschoolers learn to develop more meaningful, deep relationships.
