Swift summer spent, we know it’s back to school
when FedEx truck delivers loads of books.
To study here at home we think it’s cool
yet clueless people give us funny looks
because we never worry what we wear;
Change out of your pajamas, I must ask
then after chores, at least please comb your hair;
put on proud smile, you’re always top of class!
Peer pressure is a concept we don’t know
though sibling rivalry we understand.
Real life relationships can bloom and grow
when we learn side by side, walk hand in hand.
If there’s one thing home school deprived of us
we’d like, just once, to ride in yellow bus!
Linking to dVerse poetics where Gabriella’s prompt is “back to school”

I never had the patience to homeschool my son, but we did do a lot of homework together. 🙂 Peace, Linda

So many reasons to home-school now. I was fortunate to go to private school, I suppose. Besides the obvious, another value, for me, of home-schooling would be to learn all over again–all those things I’ve apparently forgotten or missed out on the first time around.

I have always been curious about homeschooling. We both worked full time as teachers, so no options other than public school; teachers can’t afford private schools for three daughters. Loved the sonnet form, & the fun was communicated.

My hat is off to all good teachers! I taught a couple years in a small rural school after college.

rules

and cooperation
