• Tuesday, November 28, 2006 - Something Entirely Different! Dr. Phil is taking a poll on School Choices today!

Posted in Family Life

It is fascinating to see the results so far.  The four choices are:  Public School, Private School, Homeschool, or Unschool.  If you would like to see where the 15500 votes have been cast so far, or if you would like to cast your own vote... here is the link:

Just click on "take our poll"

I am not typically one to watch Dr. Phil, although DH likes the show occasionally, but we might watch tonight's education debate. 

 

And I definately cast my vote, although that choice does vary from day to day --some days unschooling (go ahead and just read today, mom's got too much housework to catch up on), some days homeschooling (alright now, children, get out your first subject and let me see how you've been doing! :-), some days public school (If you hit your sister with that broom one more time I am going to send you to public school.  I've had just about enough. All right, I'm calling right now!  GO TO YOUR ROOM!  Hello, Mr. Principal, can I enroll a delinquent, unsocialized 6 year old in your 3rd grade today!  Oh I'm sure I will be ready to unenroll him by next week, we just both need a little "change of pace." ) 

 

P.S. My 10 year old thinks my post is funny.  My 4 year old thinks it's just stupid!  I guess I have some work to do here in my little homeschool!

Isn't it the truth. And I thought I was the only one with those feelings running through my head. Schooling definitely comes in lots of different colors (depending on the day). Hope today is a Good One!

Posted by meme21713
that was a great post...I homeschooled my oldest son after he entered high school...Tried to homeschool grandson and I did what you said in your post pleading: Dear Principal can he PLEASE go back to school..and that is just what he did....To old now and not the same amount of patience with the teenagers that rather not learn and just play..Guess that is the wrong look at it; but at that age and my age things sometimes do not click..ANyway....enjoyed the post...Debbie
