When people find out I was homeschooled, they usually just assume that means I didn't get an education. :P But I can see where it would be easy to think you'd have to be rich to be homeschooled, and it really does depend. My mom is a certified teacher anyway, so that was nice, but you don't even have to be a certified teacher to teach your children. And we had financial help for some of the courses, because my grandparents wanted to be involved in my education. But I would say the price of homeschooling was pretty comparable to the price of the private school I went to when I was younger. We just got to spend the money on a more personally-tailored curriculum. :) Liz Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15823595869843889438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983835809503834267.post-4761835466439574802016-07-18T01:51:14.581-07:002016-07-18T01:51:14.581-07:00Yeah, I was surprised when I heard homeschooler st...Yeah, I was surprised when I heard homeschooler stereotypes on Blimey Cow because I was basically like a stereotypical homeschooler, except, y'know, without the homeschooling xDAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540365342855306287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983835809503834267.post-21081286064086877672016-07-18T01:49:13.510-07:002016-07-18T01:49:13.510-07:00Haha thank you!

I always just thought that if I was a homeschooler then I'd be the biggest hermit this planet has ever seen, which I pretty much am anyways. I guess I knew a few homeschoolers anyways (a few of them went to my church) and they were pretty ordinary so yeah.

Also, I wanted to get home schooled this year before I graduated but it was too late and I was too old, apparently :/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540365342855306287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983835809503834267.post-6326433684820363752016-07-14T00:27:56.120-07:002016-07-14T00:27:56.120-07:00That's interesting.

Or live that way because their six figures are spread over 15 children :P<br /><br />I guess I always tend to think of people in the school system as having fewer family members, two working parents, and less free time. None of those are bad things, really. I just find that when you do school at home, you often have more siblings (so you can't afford real school :P) and at least one of your parents is there to teach you. And when you're done with school, the day is yours. Unless you work. Or unless you're one of those families that goes a lot of places for "extracurricular activies." My family was never into those :)<br /><br />But I think misformed stereotyping is kind of part of human nature ^.^Abigayle Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182504899939054458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4983835809503834267.post-57065850618105774992016-07-13T08:48:40.894-07:002016-07-13T08:48:40.894-07:00I was homeschooled my whole life.
