She took a number of college courses in home-school high-school, didn't she?
Yes, b/c she's wicked smahhhht.

I saw this on sale for $180 off the list price. Want for my kids. I haven't thought of a justification yet though.

My wife has explicitly rejected home schooling materials that push religion (which is a lot of them) and went with a public school distance learning program instead. So although she is quite religious, the homeschooling is more of a distrust of the public schools to give enough attention to our daughter who can read, write, do math and only qualifies for kindergarten next year. Heck, if our daughter was six days younger she'd probably be in public school right now.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Gud, O's birthday is next month. Sadly, those kiddie cars don't fit the budget. They're wicked cool, though.

Doesn't Emmett attend a private school?
Dude, don't you think my hypocrisy filter would've prevented me from posting that if it were true? No, he does not.
However, he does go to school in the best public school district in northern california, a little sub-city which exists solely for the school district. His elementary school sits right next to University Village where UC Berkeley warehouses their grad students who have families - so his school is particularly overrun with high achieving smartypants.
eta: which is just to say I don't have to worry about the quality of this education, which is, without question, orders of magnitude higher than what I received.

Why is she getting married?! She's twenty-one for Christ's sake!
A number of my college friends did that upon graduation. I decided it was as close to being betrayed in favor of The Man as I was likely ever to see in my humdrum existence.

Okay, like, guys, I still have the catapult. And the city's orden is that it can stay up for one week.
Who has any childhood issues that they need help solving with? Come on?
Can we attack Quebec? Or Maybe arizona? We Floridians are half a step away from amphibians.
Well, anyways, whoever we attack (AKA those who denied Cashmere her boob reduction), I will be prepared with water and puppet!Angel.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It is now snowing here. I am getting karma'd for having mocked the easterners last week. I repent of my taunty ways.
Also, the SO has a cold, so my week just got way, way busier. In fact, I dunno what I'm doing on here.

What is even happening?
Dude, don't you think my hypocrisy filter would've prevented me from posting that if it were true? No, he does not.Hee. It was probably his after-school program I was thinking of. How are you feeling? I had the most violent stomach thing last week. I thought it was food poisoning, but am thinking now it was just a virus. I felt so bad you were away from home for that.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Not all parents who homeschool do it because they're in a craxy religious group. Sometimes public schools SUCK and are actively dangerous, and private school is cost-prohibitive.
What Teppy said. In the next four years, DH and I know we need to either move to a place with excellent public schools or put ourselves in a position to afford private ones. But if that doesn't work out, I feel like homeschooling Annabel rather than enrolling her in a subpar school is the only responsible thing to do.
