20 Great Reasons You Homeschool

"You don't have to worry about what your kids learned in school today"

Whenever I hear homeschooling this is what I think of first. Somebody doesn't like an earth over age 6000, or non-heliocentrism, or non-xtian-supremacy... actually I guess that everything I hate about homeschooling is also everything I hate about churchers. As much as I think the federal education system is the worst crime perpetrated against children by any group outside of organized religion, there's something to be said for having to reconcile beliefs with consensus reality rather than living in an intellectual bubble.

[Coximind]

Wow you guys are taking it way too seriously. It's J+B, it's -0% serious.

Hahahah, fooled you didn't I. That's the best part of the internet. You can pretend to take people seriously when I'm totally ROFL'ing over here.

I do that on occasion. But be careful...

Stubhawk: WE ARE THE HOMESCHOOLERS. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED.

Yeah, throw the trumped up little momma's boys to the wolfs... so we can mug 'em and steal their dinner money. Jk.

I just don't like people that think their better than other people, for what ever reason and since I'm fairly paranoid, naturally and non-herbally then that pretty much means my circle of trust is a dot... and I'm not even allowed in it. Also, smug leads to violence, it's been proven.

[Ross_Varn]

Heh. You guys do know I'm atheist, right? I think the whole reason I have been homeschooled was because mum and dad didn't want someone else's opinion forced on me. Not because of religion, which I've covered before.

But yeah, I think a good number of Christian homeschooler moms would bawl me out over trying this club. I honestly don't care. I'm playing Brikwars with my friends, and it's not any different from you and your friends playing it. Homeschoolers just set out on a path apart from the one prescribed for them, for reasons known only to each one who tries... something different. And that's my last word on the subject.

(But I do think homeschooled kids get more lego. After all, it's educational...)

[Warhead]

See, I told you, smug/violence.

Why would they be upset? Don't we all follow the same Great Lord Cthulhu?

[Ross_Varn]

See, I told you, smug/violence.

And don't you forget it.

[Warhead]

*HRNK!*

[Coximind]

What is Cthulhu, before a poorly played bagpipe?

[Warhead]

No, that's all wrong. Bagpipes ARE the heads of Cthulhu children. They just make funny noises when you blow air through their nose tentacle appendage thingies, but I'm sure that's true of most people too.

[Ross_Varn]

I used to play the bagpipes. Your sig cracks me up every time I see it- I'm starting to get funny looks from people.

[Warhead]

I'll admit I find myself laughing uncontrollably at it all the time too. It's better when you imagine the words in a pompously proud broad Scottish accent. I don't even notice the funny looks anymore.

[Tzan]

Every time I use that voice and say those words it sounds like grounds keeper Willy on the Simpsons

[Warhead]

Yup, but now just imagine you lived in a land where everyone sounds just like that. Even the wimin folk.

I SHULL PLAY YOO THU SONG OV MA' PEOPLE.

[Ross_Varn]

I'm not quite sure how I imagine the voice, but it's dead serious and staring straight at me.

And then it goes -*HRNK*
