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.

Lynn.. of course write on course
it’s you again.. at the end
of this dVerse trail..
more and less..
and i never fail
to come again..
hehe.. and yes..
siblings alike
and all
homogenous
cultures tend
to get along
more than
different
abodes
but
different
rules now..
challenge of
eternity to
establish
rules
of compassion
and cooperation
wheRre different rules..:)

homeschooling is a new concept to me but I think it is great and free of bullying….

Here homschooling is unheard of… you have to go to school for 9 years at least.. I can of course see advantages.. but I did grow to like school at the end, and my mother worked so it was not really an option.

It’s a privilege to enjoy educational choice here and there are pros/cons to all choices…thanks for commenting, Bjorn!

Good for your family to try the home schooling program ~ It must have taken a lot of commitment from both of you ~ Enjoyed this sonnet Lynn ~
